The Commonwealth of Federation Terra Australis is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Governor General J A Palaiologos AK with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 2.998 billion Australians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canberra. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Australian economy, worth 517 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,697 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, the right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, and restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Federation Terra Australis. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Federation Terra Australis's national animal is the Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Federation Terra Australis is ranked 7,442^nd in the world and 433^rd in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 91.33 on the Human Development Index.
