The Principality of Aurindral is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.083 billion Aurindralians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aurindralian economy, worth 235 trillion scales a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,061 scales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain, Aurindral City has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, and the most notorious criminals are given the Consequences of Your Actions Award. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aurindral's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aurindral is ranked 203,706^th in the world and 120^th in The League for Largest Populations, with 2.08 billion capita.
