The Empire of Aedyrn is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Stennis Reinhardt with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 17.996 billion Aedyrnians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arkania. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Aedyrnian economy, worth a remarkable 3,064 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,279 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, and dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aedyrn's national animal is the Bearded Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aedyrnian Polytheism.

Aedyrn is ranked 13,193^rd in the world and 665^th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 11,105.09 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
