The Republic of Aubsmania is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 253 million Aubsmanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 31.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Aubsmanian economy, worth 12.9 trillion rubys a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,808 rubys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, and roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aubsmania's national animal is the doom kitty, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aubsmania is ranked 54,784^th in the world and 32^nd in Benigtopia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 47.62 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
