The Antebellum Empire of Russo-Austria is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Robert E Lee V with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, anti-smoking policies, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.907 billion Confederates are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baton Rouge. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Confederate economy, worth a remarkable 1,793 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 303,596 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 989,153 per year while the poor average 70,151, a ratio of 14.1 to 1.

Members of majority races are forced out of their homes to make way for Bigtopians, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics, and little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Russo-Austria's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Russo-Austria is ranked 198,002^nd in the world and 17^th in Official European Union for Most Stationary, with 21.0121046078 days.
