The Republic of Aulesauf is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, triple-decker prams, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.892 billion Aulesaufians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Aulesaufian economy, worth 880 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,765 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government has to take out its Visa to eliminate visas, possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, and mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aulesauf's national animal is the Python, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aulesauf is ranked 272,320^th in the world and 1,061^st in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 36.67 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
