The Republic of Aurtaners is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 797 million Aurtanersians 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, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brutusen. The average income tax rate is 24.1%.

The Aurtanersian economy, worth 35.2 trillion Sendas a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,138 Sendas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, military chiefs are predicting extra funding in this year's budget, and the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aurtaners's national animal is the Caracal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
