The Republic of Audrey 136 is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 7.304 billion Audrey 136ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Audrey 136ian economy, worth 71.1 trillion Join Lilies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,728 Join Lilies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, Audrey 136 is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and Audrey 136 has designated Audrey 136 City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Audrey 136's national animal is the Join Lily, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Audrey 136 is ranked 304,706^th in the world and 3^rd in Candleflame Glow 41 for Smartest Citizens, with 1.25 quips per hour.
