The Empire of Patria Augusta is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Livius with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.031 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, with Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. 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 5,525 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 220,742 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 1,051^st in the world and 5^th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 169.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
