The Free Land of Autmia is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 109 million Autmians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Autmian economy, worth 4.06 trillion voads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 37,289 voads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sea side cafes are required by law to close during summer, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Autmia's national animal is the tardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Autmia is ranked 72,219^th in the world and 809^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,996.59 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
