The Federation of Austrus is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Captain Spock with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.772 billion Austrusians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Public Transport receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Austrus City. The average income tax rate is 15.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Austrusian economy, worth 227 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,637 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Austrus's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

Austrus is ranked 90,778^th in the world and 4,956^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,582.14 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
