The Kingdom of Aursi is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Queen Aursia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.264 billion Aursians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurtumn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Aursian economy, worth a remarkable 1,005 trillion Aursifens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,067 Aursifens, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 760,858 per year while the poor average 32,319, a ratio of 23.5 to 1.

The Aursi Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, printing ink yields Aursiafism's biggest return on investment, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, and the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aursi's national animal is the PoKoPoKo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Aursiafism.

Aursi is ranked 33,455th in the world and 2nd in Anubis for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,609.63 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
