The Republic of Auscd is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 118 million Auscdians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 10.1%.

The strong Auscdian economy, worth 7.17 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 60,754 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Religious bigotry is not allowed but bigotry against theism is encouraged, all the cool kids have tetanus, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and animated characters are allowed to stab each other but not hold hands. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Auscd's national animal is the panda, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Auscd is ranked 142,921^st in the world and 51^st in Aeternas for Most Developed, scoring 56.64 on the Human Development Index.
