The Kingdom of Ausvelt is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Taina Nurumi with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.363 billion Ausvelti 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsinki. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ausvelti economy, worth a remarkable 1,691 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 180,704 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, trains and passengers alike are often late, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ausvelt's national animal is the Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Ausvelt is ranked 251,936^th in the world and 1,229^th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -4.47 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
