The Dictatorship of Aupathica is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 548 million Aupathicans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rococabana. The average income tax rate is 60.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aupathican economy, worth 32.4 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,100 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Eight-year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas, light entertainment isn't dead, private surgeons have been told to cut it out, and battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aupathica's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Aupathica is ranked 186,234^th in the world and 380^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 669.59 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
