The Kingdom of Authnoa is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 67 million Authnoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 28.3%.

The strong Authnoan economy, worth 3.13 trillion Authnoan Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 46,724 Authnoan Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

People believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, the tenet of free speech is held dear, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Authnoa's national animal is the Crowned Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Authnoa is ranked 134,172^nd in the world and 277^th in Two for Safest, scoring 66.32 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
