“En Unión y Libertad”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Aurumlanda is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Mary Drescher with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.273 billion Aurumlandans 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 tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Airs. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Aurumlandan economy, worth 369 trillion Golden Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 112,959 Golden Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 325,731 per year while the poor average 31,096, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aurumlanda's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aurumlanda is ranked 46,670^th in the world and 2,671^st in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 703.82 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
