The Everlasting Empire of Austeral is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Mr allreds favorite student with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.971 billion austeralians 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vallellti. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Austeralian economy, worth 799 trillion austriols a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 201,294 austriols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Builders across Austeral are blocked up with orders for new public loos, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Austeral's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Capybarism.

Austeral is ranked 319,942^nd in the world and 8^th in OOK OOK for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 20.81 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
