The Empire of Augusticinia is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 6.106 billion Augusticinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Munich. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.
The thriving Augusticinian economy, worth 572 trillion Augusticinian Imperias a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,704 Augusticinian Imperias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Every workday begins with group therapy, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, the ABI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Augusticinia's national animal is the Tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Augusticinia is ranked 14,625th in the world and 753rd in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,880.22 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
