The Empire of Patria Augusta is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Livius with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.119 billion Augustrians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lux Gloria. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Patria Augustan economy, worth a remarkable 5,546 trillion Aureuses a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 220,795 Aureuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Livius is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Owl Dung" has been declared a national treasure, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, and buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Patria Augusta's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Patria Augusta is ranked 290,241^st in the world and 837^th in NationStates for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.24 kickbacks per hour.
