The Republic of Audrey 16 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 2.164 billion Audrey 16ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 52.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Audrey 16ian economy, worth 19.0 trillion Join Lilies 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 Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 8,763 Join Lilies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, and Audrey 16 has designated Audrey 16 City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Audrey 16's national animal is the Join Lily.

Audrey 16 is ranked 223,811^th in the world and 6,379^th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 223.91 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
