The Polyphonic Isles of Auloi is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its daily referendums, lack of airports, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.183 billion Auloians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 84.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Auloian economy, worth 60.4 trillion Notes 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Tourism. Average income is 51,061 Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auloi's national animal is the Goose, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Auloi is ranked 92,416^th in the world and 1,119^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 63.38 on the Human Development Index.
