The Dictatorship of Aupathica is a tiny, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 18 million Aupathicans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Aupathican economy, worth 751 billion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,760 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are told that foreigners are hungry ghosts who eat the flesh of the overly curious, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, lion-reed-vulture-hand-reed-mouth is how Leader is spelt now, and raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aupathica's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Aupathica is ranked 83,561^st in the world and 329^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Extreme, scoring 25.19 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
