The National Republic of NC Auraxis is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kerry Davidson with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.971 billion Auraxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tri-City. The average income tax rate is 20.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong NC Auraxisian economy, worth 439 trillion Auraxian Standard Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 88,392 Auraxian Standard Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Billions of Auraxian Standard Credits are being poured into a space program, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, Kerry Davidson has just been declared ruler of NC Auraxis in an international press conference, and Kerry Davidson is the self-declared God of all NC Auraxis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NC Auraxis's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is the 'Religious Majority'.

NC Auraxis is ranked 59,227^th in the world and 252^nd in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,342.48 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
