The Federal People's Republic of Auraesia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Oŝvilia Irecaeŝ with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.868 billion Auraesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enûpulum. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Auraesian economy, worth 240 trillion planets 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 128,699 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, and schoolyard bullying has a tendency to escalate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auraesia's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Auraesia is ranked 308,369^th in the world and 174^th in Refugia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.39 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
