The Dominion of Aouie is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Wally Rose with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 11.666 billion Aouieans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Dominion City. The average income tax rate is 36.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Aouiean economy, worth 421 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Trout Farming, Retail, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 36,165 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street, diplomatic cables about Wally Rose have suddenly been very flattering, re-education centers are being added to most prisons, and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aouie's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Western Naoism.

Aouie is ranked 135,518^th in the world and 3^rd in Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious for Most Patriotic, with 11.54 flags saluted per person per day.
