The Great Millenary Empire of Aurcania is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Willem III with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.514 billion Aurcanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stirlington. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Aurcanian economy, worth 372 trillion Crowns a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,593 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A third of Aurcanians are e-certified CEOs, sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, religious education is a new government priority, and biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aurcania's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Order of Rassilon.

Aurcania is ranked 23,966^th in the world and 792^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 65,746 Standard Monetary Units.
