The Democratic Korean State of Ausrea is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Taehyun Hyejin with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 5.017 billion Ausreans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Namja-Ileum. The average income tax rate is 84.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ausrean economy, worth 536 trillion Guegens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,981 Guegens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, President Taehyun Hyejin's Twitcher account is typically used to share Tiger memes rather than government policy, and pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ausrea's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Ausrea is ranked 21,190^th in the world and 1,030^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,285.35 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
