The Principality of Aude is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by 👑 Lennart Raybrandt with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, unlimited-speed roads, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The devout population of 14.463 billion Audeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 🏰 Carcassone. The average income tax rate is 46.6%.

The all-consuming Audean economy, worth a remarkable 1,260 trillion 🪙 euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 87,142 🪙 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers, and scientists are not permitted to ask questions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aude's national animal is the 🐎 horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ➕ Catharism.

Aude is ranked 87,102^nd in the world and 4^th in Lennart for Largest Governments, scoring 17.78 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
