The Lazarus Home of Galiantus of Americastrailia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Crock with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.296 billion Americastrailians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sydneyton DC. The average income tax rate is 17.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Americastrailian economy, worth 277 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,235 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Euthanasia is legal, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, the new biography of President Crock is subtitled "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Hate the Bomb", and Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Americastrailia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Americastrailia's national animal is the dingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Presbycrocadilianism.

Americastrailia is ranked 141,046^th in the world and 4,081^st in Lazarus for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.04 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
