The Planet of The Austinian Empire is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Optimus Prime with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.179 billion Cybertronians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cybertron. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.5%.
The strong Cybertronian economy, worth 118 trillion Motor oils a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,423 Motor oils, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 165,402 per year while the poor average 13,910, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.
Computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, beggars lack pockets for spare change, the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, and printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Austinian Empire's national animal is the Vehicle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Spark.
The Austinian Empire is ranked 108,473rd in the world and 1st in The beforelife for Highest Food Quality, scoring 21.52 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
