The Watchfires of Aug-1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, devout population of 16.273 billion Aug-1ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.9%.

The powerhouse Aug-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,363 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,782 $$s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,389 per year while the poor average 21,443, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, Aug-1ian politicians are often described as having more style than substance, and minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aug-1's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aug-1 is ranked 13,261st in the world and 1st in Augusta for Most Stationary, with 1,911.66000570348 days.
