The Dominion of AusterCorp is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 409 million AusterCorpians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The very strong AusterCorpian economy, worth 27.3 trillion Austers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 66,737 Austers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 261,095 per year while the poor average 11,620, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

Equality looks curiously unequal, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, nudity is frowned upon, and drawing men's naughty bits isn't considered to be art. Crime is a problem. AusterCorp's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

AusterCorp is ranked 117,572^nd in the world and 5,868^th in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 58.46 on the Human Development Index.
