The Purple of Stellar Aethis is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Echt oLunaratico with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.955 billion Stellar Aethisians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stellar Aethis City. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Stellar Aethisian economy, worth 269 trillion Litecoins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is 68,120 Litecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Abortions are routinely performed in Stellar Aethis's hospitals, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, Stellar Aethis's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and birth rates have hit an all-time low. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stellar Aethis's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
