The Commonwealth of Federation Terra Australis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Governor General J A Palaiologos AK with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.299 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 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Australian economy, worth 179 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 138,430 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects, fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, anti-government web sites are springing up, and religious households enthusiastically use whips in private. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Federation Terra Australis is ranked 85,772^nd in the world and 4,534^th in The North Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring 47.22 on the Rand Index.
