The Empire of Patria Augusta is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Livius with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 30.224 billion Augustrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lux Gloria. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Patria Augustan economy, worth a remarkable 6,676 trillion Aureuses a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 220,904 Aureuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, the government is often referred to as "the biggest drug dealer in the nation", and diplomatic missions are often mistaken as declarations of war. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Patria Augusta's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Patria Augusta is ranked 6,288^th in the world and 112^th in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 30.2 billion capita.
