The Confederacy of Kaiseraugst is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Federal Council with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 4.264 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 34.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kaiseraugstian economy, worth 238 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 55,890 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, farmers are struggling to keep up with demand for local produce, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them. 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 135,672^nd in the world and 318^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,528.81 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
