The Kingdom of Augstania is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, devout population of 637 million Augstanians 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, Spirituality, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.8%.

The strong Augstanian economy, worth 36.2 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 56,751 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Group photos of the members of parliament are often mistaken for family reunions, making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, and a stitch in time could see you serving nine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Augstania's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Augstania is ranked 106,131^st in the world and 5^th in Saiki for Most Developed, scoring 60.13 on the Human Development Index.
