The Imperial Federation of Augustasia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Floria with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.463 billion Augustasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Augustasian economy, worth a remarkable 2,058 trillion Pershings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 243,182 Pershings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Augustasia's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Augustasia is ranked 2,397^th in the world and 121^st in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 137.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
