“Power to the Federation”

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

The Federation of Austrawa is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Mikhail von Pommern with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 9.443 billion Austrawans 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 Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanstarago. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Austrawan economy, worth a remarkable 2,108 trillion Drakes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 223,302 Drakes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, the government is often referred to as "the biggest drug dealer in the nation", apprentice builders get teased for wearing hard hats, and doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Austrawa's national animal is the König Ox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Austrawa is ranked 240,724^th in the world and 383^rd in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Primitive, scoring -518.55 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
