The Queen's State of Auge is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 22.381 billion wests are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Augean economy, worth a remarkable 1,609 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 71,915 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 342,430 per year while the poor average 8,885, a ratio of 38.5 to 1.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work, and the Auge Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Auge's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Auge is ranked 42,793^rd in the world and 2^nd in Capitalist States for Highest Food Quality, scoring 37.82 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
