The Republic of Enlightened Australasia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Owl with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and digital currency. The compassionate population of 7.725 billion Australasians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Canberra. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Australasian economy, worth 688 trillion dollars a year, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,178 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Immigrants who don't like the taste of Australasian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, the latest political memes depict The Owl as an overly-choreographed robot, and nerdy teenagers have to prove that they're made of the same stuff as their grandparents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Enlightened Australasia's national animal is the flying fox, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Enlightened Australasia is ranked 234,387th in the world and 9,027th in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 21,581.15 Standard Monetary Units.
