The Kingdom of Auralon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Faustus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.915 billion Auralonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Auralonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,579 trillion golds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,976 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Babysitters are a thing of the past, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia, and doctors are encouraged to 'pull the plug' any time the government has a budget crisis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auralon's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Auralon is ranked 6,166^th in the world and 321^st in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,097.32 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
