The Technocratic Republic of Austrawa is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Nicholas Cabalion with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 15.948 billion Austrawans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanstarago. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Austrawan economy, worth a remarkable 4,001 trillion Yorkes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 250,925 Yorkes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, and members of ethnic minorities are more often called "boy" or "girl" than by their actual names. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Austrawa's national animal is the Sylvan Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Austrawa is ranked 3,259^th in the world and 17^th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Lowest Crime Rates, with 127.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
