The Republic of Auvangad Eng is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 317 million Auvangad Engians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Auvangad Engian economy, worth 10.6 trillion złoties a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 33,347 złoties, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Referenda are held for every conceivable government action, customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, and Auvangad Engian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auvangad Eng's national animal is the platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Auvangad Eng is ranked 231,196^th in the world and 4,861^st in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -5.66 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
