The Greatest Dictatorship of SS Ausnez is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Inspectorat Nell Mann with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, strictly enforced bedtime, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.246 billion Ausnezians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alden. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving SS Ausnezian economy, worth 656 trillion Menmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 154,706 Menmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The sound of wooden legs echo throughout SS Ausnez after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Warrior Penguin Dung" has been declared a national treasure, hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, and cows graze until the wolves come home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SS Ausnez's national animal is the warrior penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Kraftel.

SS Ausnez is ranked 189,132^nd in the world and 4,844^th in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 51.6 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
