The Empire of Imperium Aureus is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Imperator Arti I with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and triple-decker prams. The compassionate, devout population of 1.371 billion Aureans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Áurea Regia. The average income tax rate is 61.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Aurean economy, worth 182 trillion Dracmas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,893 Dracmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, the rich tend their gardens inside gated urban farming communities, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and religious leaders order congregants to love any neighbour who is just like themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperium Aureus's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Imperium Aureus is ranked 73,826^th in the world and 57^th in Sophia for Most Patriotic, with 24.68 flags saluted per person per day.
