The Federation of Australos is a large, genial nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 137 million Australosians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Australosian economy, worth 7.60 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 55,469 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Comic books avoid plot inconsistencies by removing the plot, the Australosian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, and concussed Kangarooball players cannot remember their lineup position. Crime is relatively low. Australos's national animal is the Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Australos is ranked 256,595^th in the world and 21^st in Australia for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 846.77 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
