The April Fool's Trollolololol of Audenshaw is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 662 million Megalanesians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rosemary Capitol District. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.5%.

The all-consuming Megalanesian economy, worth 66.7 trillion Rosemary Gold Standard and WDP Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 100,828 Rosemary Gold Standard and WDP Credits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 537,055 per year while the poor average 9,965, a ratio of 53.9 to 1.
