The Republic of Custraria is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working population of 225 million Custrarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 11.5%.

The very strong Custrarian economy, worth 16.3 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 72,637 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, a cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass, and Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Custraria's national animal is the Border Collie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Custraria is ranked 178,446^th in the world and 4^th in Picmis Island for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,039.2 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
