The Union of Australasia of Aozhou is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Nathaniel Liew with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 10.051 billion Australasians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canberra. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Australasian economy, worth 556 trillion Australasian dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,380 Australasian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime Minister Nathaniel Liew has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aozhou's national animal is the Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aozhou is ranked 24,811^th in the world and 22^nd in Geopolity for Safest, scoring 111.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
