The Dominion of Aurithe Licia is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, triple-decker prams, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.362 billion Aurithe Licians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Aurithe Lician economy, worth 163 trillion gold bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 119,825 gold bars, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, the Aurithe Licia City XV Regiment (aka "The Goat Starers") have yet to win a battle, diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat", and all funding starts one dime at a time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aurithe Licia's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aurithe Licia is ranked 198,385th in the world and 199th in The Khamen Union for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 292.45 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
