The Concierge of Aethenstaff is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Wygnin of Aethenstaff with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 3.135 billion Aethians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rathanaak. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Aethian economy, worth 248 trillion Aethens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,137 Aethens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is known as the cheapskates of the West Pacific, rogue nations are placing suspiciously large bulk orders for student laptops, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, and Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aethenstaff's national animal is the Aethen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aethenstaff is ranked 88,486^th in the world and 740^th in the West Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 79,137.03 Standard Monetary Units.
