The Severe Electorate of Aureannia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prince-elector Auron with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.868 billion Aureannians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aureum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The thriving Aureannian economy, worth 386 trillion golden golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 79,402 golden golds, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Mostly women are seen and not heard, people are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Prince-elector Auron, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, and skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Aureannia's national animal is the double-headed eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholicism of the Golden Age.

Aureannia is ranked 180,480^th in the world and 24^th in Allied Nations Treaty Organization for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
