The Commonwealth of Astralia Ry is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 7 million Astralia Ryians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 20.1%.

The Astralia Ryian economy, worth 319 billion Gooslings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 45,688 Gooslings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, and religious bigotry is not allowed but bigotry against theism is encouraged. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Astralia Ry's national animal is the Fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Astralia Ry is ranked 70,769^th in the world and 95^th in Starlight for Fattest Citizens, with 12.44 Obesity Rate.
