The Aristocracy of Futurus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Pent Denja with a fair hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 45.939 billion Futurans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mercantium. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Futuran economy, worth an astonishing 12,964 trillion autroes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 282,219 autroes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,620,427 per year while the poor average 2,832, a ratio of 925 to 1.

Children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts, the flesh-eating lost souls that wander at night serve as a major tourist attraction (Futurus has found 3 easter eggs), lottery winners spend most of their money on security, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Futurus's national animal is the irodan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Futurus is ranked 172,108th in the world and 11th in Autropolis for Most Stationary, with 94.16123834788 days.
