The United Socialist States of Aungotesa is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.268 billion Aungotesans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The strong Aungotesan economy, worth 85.3 trillion Industries a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 67,240 Industries, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 394,593 per year while the poor average 5,352, a ratio of 73.7 to 1.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Aungotesa's national animal is the More Industry, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Aungotesa is ranked 58,533^rd in the world and 3,022^nd in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,803.56 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
