The Syndicalist States of Auritopia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Iron Executive with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.604 billion Auritopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Petit-Roi. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Auritopian economy, worth 138 trillion Auris 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 86,154 Auris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Auritopian citizenship, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and the 'no-coal' transition is being paid for in slashed student support funds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auritopia's national animal is the Yellow Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Auritopia is ranked 49,282^nd in the world and 604^th in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 72 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
