The Republic of Auso Kingdom is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jozua Wever with an even hand, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.788 billion Auso Kingdomians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Weaver. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Auso Kingdomian economy, worth 102 trillion Auso Yeras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,522 Auso Yeras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, and warning signs caution Auso Kingdomians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auso Kingdom's national animal is the Dingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buradism.

Auso Kingdom is ranked 262,960^th in the world and 2^nd in The Union of Mediterranean Nations for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.47 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
