The Republic of Auscusia is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.742 billion Auscusians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Auscusian economy, worth 241 trillion Solwyrs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 138,648 Solwyrs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 524,044 per year while the poor average 25,522, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

The number of judges has tripled in recent months, people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute, formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming, and in court almost every witness is a hostile witness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auscusia's national animal is the Obsidian Tortoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Auscusia is ranked 11,160^th in the world and 43^rd in Concord for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 9,687.57 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
