The Kingdom of Augustus of Mercia is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 17.67 billion Mercians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.4%.

The strong Augustus of Mercian economy, worth a remarkable 1,147 trillion shillings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 64,966 shillings, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Augustus of Mercia's national animal is the polecat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Augustus of Mercia is ranked 134,143^rd in the world and 1^st in Mercia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
