The Celestial Empire of Auzkhia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Karl IX with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 26.661 billion Auzkhians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vienna. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Auzkhian economy, worth a remarkable 6,569 trillion Euros 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 amazing 246,405 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Freed serfs and former nobles exchange awkward glances in the produce aisle, hymns sung by popular choirs top the billboard charts, all recreational drugs are legal, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime is totally unknown. Auzkhia's national animal is the Double Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Harmonism.

Auzkhia is ranked 5,487^th in the world and 1^st in Sacrum Romanum Imperium for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 525.11 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
