The Great Millenary Empire of Aurcania is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Willem III with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.317 billion Aurcanians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stirlington. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Aurcanian economy, worth 692 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,256 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, the government pours millions of Crowns into rehabilitation programs annually, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aurcania's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Order of Rassilon.

Aurcania is ranked 235,347^th in the world and 9,532^nd in the South Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -12 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
