The Antarctic Collective of Aurvia is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Aya with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, enslaved workforce, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 5.309 billion Aurvians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Primrose -71dot71632. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aurvian economy, worth a remarkable 1,571 trillion prims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 296,079 prims, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, billions of prims are being blown on orbital weapons development, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, and medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aurvia's national animal is the purplis floweris, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State-Enforced Atheism.

Aurvia is ranked 77,584^th in the world and 4,266^th in Balder for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,661.11 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
