The Federal Republic of Aurethis is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 566 million Aurethisians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurélie. The average income tax rate is 34.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Aurethisian economy, worth 43.3 trillion Arbiteyian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,436 Arbiteyian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, and medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aurethis's national animal is the Northern Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Aurethis is ranked 184,289th in the world and 11th in Merkopa for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -2 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
