The Providential Dáxlamic Lands of Augellan is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Lýderis Bradford John with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 11.407 billion Augellanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tomatias. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Augellanian economy, worth 764 trillion Dáxlamic Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 67,003 Dáxlamic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vote-counting is replacing kitchen patrol as the least glamorous army work, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, and murderers are immune to arrest while attending their victims' funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Augellan's national animal is the Jonstontinople Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

Augellan is ranked 202,417^th in the world and 55^th in Declansburg for Largest Black Market, with 469 billion Standard Monetary Units.
