The Shipping Conglomerate of Australia Post is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Postmaster Robert with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.984 billion Postpeople enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mailtropolis. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Packaged economy, worth a remarkable 2,741 trillion Stamps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 211,160 Stamps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, children wondering what happens to pets after they die are shown where the compost heap is, saying "don't do anything that Postmaster Robert wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, and unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Mailtropolis make great practice for foreign snipers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Australia Post's national animal is the Cardboard Box, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Australia Post is ranked 101,427^th in the world and 9^th in Australialia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 222.8 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
