The Not Not Republic of Not Austria is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Comrade Meow with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.557 billion Not Austrians 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 enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Not Vienna. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Not Austrian economy, worth 742 trillion Not Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 86,763 Not Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bike rage is all the rage, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Not Austria will pay them to stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Not Austria's national animal is the Not Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Not Austria is ranked 267,190th in the world and 4,971st in the South Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -225.48 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
