The Principality of The Aus is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The cynical population of 1.257 billion Ausians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 49.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ausian economy, worth 101 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,394 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's more hugging than talking in most talk shows, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, the nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, and rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Aus's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Aus is ranked 65,401^st in the world and 3,007^th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 97.24 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
