The System of Authors is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by ЗАА with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.934 billion Authorsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anime. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Authorsian economy, worth 155 trillion Anushes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,376 Anushes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black, and citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Authors's national animal is the Selestials, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Authors is ranked 20,601^st in the world and 490^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,010.05 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
