The Queen of Soul of Aretha Franklin is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Soul Queen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, strictly enforced bedtime, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 12.176 billion Aretha Franklinians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Detroit. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Aretha Franklinian economy, worth a remarkable 3,338 trillion Chains of Fools a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 274,155 Chains of Fools, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 980,800 per year while the poor average 55,012, a ratio of 17.8 to 1.

A death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, candidates celebrate "free speech" by spraying champagne all over anyone who shows up to a rally, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and the mob vote is a crucial electoral demographic. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aretha Franklin's national animal is the Think, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

Aretha Franklin is ranked 12,209th in the world and 199th in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 2,051.04939566088 days.
