The Federal Republic of Magnum Aurumea is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 594 million Aurumese are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Spirituality, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Guwahati. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.9%.

The all-consuming Aurumese economy, worth 50.5 trillion Aurumese dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 84,952 Aurumese dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 246,833 per year while the poor average 23,140, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Leader can be seen doing doughnuts in a new Rambogini, there's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building, archaeological discoveries are often followed by mysterious hamster abductions, and Leader claims tax rises are the result of 'curses'. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Magnum Aurumea's national animal is the Axolotl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Magnum Aurumea is ranked 15,735^th in the world and 4^th in Republic of Nova Tero for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 73,993.8 Standard Monetary Units.
