The Constitutional Monarchy of Aukden is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, democratic population of 480 million Aukes love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 51.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aukish economy, worth 22.5 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 46,945 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Some say Leader has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, commemoration of the Great United Kingdom War costs almost as much as the war itself, and young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aukden's national animal is the Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aukden is ranked 73,988^th in the world and 95^th in United Kingdom for Highest Poor Incomes, with 40,698.11 Standard Monetary Units.
