The Armed Kingdom of Auko is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Prime Minister Ichiko with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.951 billion Aukoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora. The average income tax rate is 48.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Aukoan economy, worth 161 trillion New Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,542 New Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unsolved crimes are often pinned on veterans with PTSD, class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auko's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Spiritual Atheism.

Auko is ranked 85,148^th in the world and 144^th in The League for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,892.13 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
