The Queendom of Aes Sedai is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lin Woo with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.155 billion Aes Sedaians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government prioritizes Healthcare, with Environment, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fennbirn. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Aes Sedaian economy, worth 227 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,858 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School football matches are usually five-a-side, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aes Sedai's national animal is the Ceffyl dwr, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aes Sedai is ranked 115,566^th in the world and 5,859^th in Lazarus for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
