The Kingdom of Grey Haven of Tauraucania is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 376 million Asura 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taur-nu-Fuin. The average income tax rate is 56.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Asurian economy, worth 39.2 trillion Tharnis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,366 Tharnis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The Twelve Steps To Logging Off is the most popular mobile download, farting etiquette is taught in schools, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, and the Asurian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grey Haven of Tauraucania's national animal is the Thorondor, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Grey Haven of Tauraucania is ranked 31,227^th in the world and 919^th in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 73.29 on the Human Development Index.
