The Democratic Republic of Aumbura is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 281 million Aumburans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fischer. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Aumburan economy, worth 18.2 trillion Velts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 64,749 Velts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, the nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel, and elite teams of assassins have been sent into Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aumbura's national animal is the Aumburan White Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aumbura is ranked 34,925^th in the world and 141^st in Refugia for Most Income Equality, scoring 68.49 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
