The Great Millenary Empire of Aurcania is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Willem III with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 13.535 billion Aurcanians 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 Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stirlington. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Aurcanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,120 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,795 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, the aims of top-secret Aurcanian science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, and the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aurcania's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Order of Rassilon.

Aurcania is ranked 88,698^th in the world and 1,160^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,939.89 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
