The Democratic Workers' Republic of Aumbura is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Leland Friece with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.415 billion Aumburans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fischer. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aumburan economy, worth 524 trillion Ottoes 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 118,827 Ottoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents dread their examinations more than their children, saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, international humanitarian organisations are applauding the government for ending the death penalty, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Fischer" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aumbura's national animal is the Aumburan White Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aumbura is ranked 285,472^nd in the world and 1,346^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -14.63 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
