The Kingdom of Ausvelt is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Taina Nurumi with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.204 billion Ausvelti enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsinki. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ausvelti economy, worth a remarkable 2,819 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 213,515 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, 3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly, the line of royal succession just experienced a hardware interrupt, and toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ausvelt's national animal is the Harp Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ausvelt is ranked 2,225^th in the world and 61^st in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 252 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
