The Armed Republic of Auztraloupe is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 309 million Auztralans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Sydney. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Auztralan economy, worth 10.1 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,842 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, Auztralans suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, and male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auztraloupe's national animal is the Kangaroo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Auztraloupe is ranked 18,736^th in the world and 793^rd in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 23.56 average smiles per day.
