The Republic of Audrey 8 is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.264 billion Audrey 8ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Audrey 8ian economy, worth 74.4 trillion Join Lilies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 10,246 Join Lilies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, and Audrey 8 has designated Audrey 8 City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Audrey 8's national animal is the Join Lily.

Audrey 8 is ranked 107,412^th in the world and 1,067^th in Lily for Largest Populations, with 7.26 billion capita.
