It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurocilia. The average income tax rate is 61.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aurorstadtian economy, worth 273 trillion ₳ Aurorsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 142,430 ₳ Aurorsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
