The Republic of Aurthursia is a small, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 26 million Aurthursians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small, moralistic government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.3%.

The strong Aurthursian economy, worth 1.55 trillion Gins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 59,680 Gins, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Bargain-hunting is considered unpatriotic, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aurthursia's national animal is the Ethiopian Wolf.

Aurthursia is ranked 53,248^th in the world and 635^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,456.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
