The Dominion of AusterCorp is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 415 million AusterCorpians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The thriving AusterCorpian economy, worth 29.2 trillion Austers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 70,418 Austers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 337,190 per year while the poor average 8,608, a ratio of 39.2 to 1.

Crackheads chase drug-loaded drones in hopes of a lucky drop, people make a career out of medical voyeurism, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, and chocolate in AusterCorp has its flavour enhanced by the salty tears of enslaved factory workers. Crime is a problem. AusterCorp's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

AusterCorp is ranked 273,159^th in the world and 141^st in UEPU Federal Republic for Highest Poor Incomes, with 8,608.43 Standard Monetary Units.
