The Free Land of Aurisgard is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 495 million Aurisgardians 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 minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The strong Aurisgardian economy, worth 26.5 trillion Aures a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 53,453 Aures, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Only adults may purchase violent video games, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", and noble feuds don't end until one side gets their point across. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aurisgard's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aurisgard is ranked 100,697^th in the world and 3^rd in Cracker Barrel for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,292.38 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
