The State of Aourh is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Quinctius Jikon with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 8.239 billion Aourhans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pakadlo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Aourhan economy, worth a remarkable 1,530 trillion xuvophs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 185,763 xuvophs, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, and estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aourh's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aourh is ranked 97,203^rd in the world and 1^st in Associated Powers Bloc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,363.75 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
