The Kaisertum of Austrin is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kaiser Franz Tarquen-Golicia with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, triple-decker prams, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.931 billion Austrians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Austrinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,129 trillion Denars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,660 Denars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 471,432 per year while the poor average 45,784, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

People who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile, winceyette robes are a popular wedding gift, hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers, and soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Austrin's national animal is the Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Golic.

Austrin is ranked 17,510^th in the world and 7^th in Union of Christian Nations for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,643.91 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
