The Kingdom of Ausvelt is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Taina Nurumi with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.033 billion Ausvelti are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsinki. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ausvelti economy, worth a remarkable 1,454 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 181,021 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People are bored of easy crossword puzzles, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, and heart failure has skyrocketed among elderly nobles who are morally opposed to pacemakers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ausvelt's national animal is the Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Ausvelt is ranked 3,571^st in the world and 57^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 125.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
