The Extreme Procrastinator of Austro-Bavarian States is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by IKEA CEO Voldemort with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, fear of technology, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.031 billion Austro-Bavarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of IKEA HQ. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Austro-Bavarian economy, worth 663 trillion IKEA coins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,523 IKEA coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Funding for education has been redirected into the military, evidence-based arguments can be arrestable offenses, religious classes are compulsory for all school students, and the citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Austro-Bavarian States's national animal is the IKEA mutant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is IKEAism.

Austro-Bavarian States is ranked 244,061^st in the world and 5,550^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -20.05 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
