The Oppressed Peoples of Austrulasia Two is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 45 million Austrulasians 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Austrulasian economy, worth 1.77 trillion rubies a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,337 rubies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, the entire entry for Austrulasia Two in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Austrulasia Two's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Austrulasia Two is ranked 78,656th in the world and 168th in The Black Hawks for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 725.13 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
