The United Republic of Aurasreich is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.254 billion Aurasreichians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iron City. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aurasreichian economy, worth 489 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 150,448 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old age is the nation's leading method of execution, tabloids coo over Leader's expected child, the Aurasreichian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, and tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aurasreich's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aurasreich is ranked 6,195^th in the world and 315^th in The North Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 192.67 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
