The Sultanate of Auctoristan is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, aversion to nipples, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 645 million Auctoristanis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Civitas Aromatum. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Auctoristani economy, worth 50.7 trillion Auctoristani Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,596 Auctoristani Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", it's not mass murder when the government does it, extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Auctoristan is often a lifetime appointment, and blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auctoristan's national animal is the Valley Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Auctoristan is ranked 244,945^th in the world and 14^th in Saint Luna Islands for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -16 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
