The Second Grand Republic of Auld-Statd is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mr Grand President with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 2.214 billion Auld-Statdians, 2.107 billion of whom are zombies, enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saltsdock. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Auld-Statdian economy, worth a remarkable 1,724 trillion Acorns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 138,597 Acorns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, visitors often wonder about the new red dartboard in Mr Grand President's office, and the air force's greatness is based on how many enemies are made during procurement. Crime is totally unknown. Auld-Statd's national animal is the Clan Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Auld-Statd is ranked 45,451^st in the world and 1,259^th in Balder for Nudest, with 208.75 cheeks per square mile.
