The Republic of Autolycus is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning swan population. The hard-working population of 5.707 billion Autolycusians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.7%.

The Autolycusian economy, worth 276 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 48,380 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Autolycus's national animal is the swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Autolycus is ranked 178,754^th in the world and 2^nd in Sinope for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 371.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
