The Sovereign Fisheries of Imperial Terra Australis is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Trout Man with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.934 billion Australisians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trout City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Imperial Terra Australisian economy, worth 701 trillion Trout Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 118,261 Trout Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 626,914 per year while the poor average 11,806, a ratio of 53.1 to 1.
Claiming to have performed the Heimlich Maneuver is a popular defense for assault charges, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, many in Imperial Terra Australis are born in the purple, and matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Imperial Terra Australis's national animal is the Land Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Trout God.
Imperial Terra Australis is ranked 288,932nd in the world and 10,145th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 3.35525479708 days.
