The Community of Aulis is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Lavinia with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 7.188 billion Aulisans 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 morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hellebore. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Aulisian economy, worth 323 trillion drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 44,986 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Aulisian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aulis's national animal is the koala, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Aulis is ranked 326,408^th in the world and 6^th in Albunea for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -9.88 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
