The Grand Commonwealth Duchy of Australian Luxembourg is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Xavier Albanese with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 2.107 billion Australian Luxembourgians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canbeourg City. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Australian Luxembourgian economy, worth 195 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,979 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, halberds are common 18th birthday presents, and carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Australian Luxembourg's national animal is the Laughing Lioburra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Australian Luxembourg is ranked 37,080^th in the world and 468^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 188.75 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
