The United Kingdom of Austellara is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 293 million Austellarans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Austellaran economy, worth 10.7 trillion trisnovis a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,422 trisnovis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, gift baskets often contain working nukes, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Austellara's national animal is the Archonius, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Austellara is ranked 170,159^th in the world and 639^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 985.51 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
