The Syndicalist States of Auritopia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Iron Executive with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.349 billion Auritopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Petit-Roi. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Auritopian economy, worth 106 trillion Auris 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 78,691 Auris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, extreme political groups are outlawed, and Petit-Roi's back alleys are rife with sausage eating. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auritopia's national animal is the Yellow Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Auritopia is ranked 5,851^st in the world and 89^th in the West Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,260.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
