The Great Millenary Empire of Aurcania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Willem III with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 12.195 billion Aurcanians 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 Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stirlington. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Aurcanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,043 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,574 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Document forgery is a critical skill for would-be politicians, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aurcania's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Order of Rassilon.

Aurcania is ranked 25,235^th in the world and 570^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
