The Confederacy of Kaiseraugst is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Federal Council with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 4.689 billion Kaiseraugstians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aarburg. The average income tax rate is 34.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kaiseraugstian economy, worth 264 trillion Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 56,334 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, and the nation leads Europe in per capita stalking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaiseraugst's national animal is the Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Kaiseraugst is ranked 162,929^th in the world and 447^th in Europe for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 36,899.07 Standard Monetary Units.
