The Colony of AU33 is a titanic, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 14.967 billion AU33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 12.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient AU33ian economy, worth 638 trillion Citas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,630 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. AU33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

AU33 is ranked 230,679^th in the world and 1^st in Authoritarian Union for Highest Average Incomes, with 42,630.77 Standard Monetary Units.
