The System of Authors is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by ЗАА with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 6.982 billion Authorsians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anime. The average income tax rate is 74.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Authorsian economy, worth 704 trillion Anushes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 100,969 Anushes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and exterminator companies deploy nerve gas in turf wars. 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 63,591^st in the world and 463^rd in the Rejected Realms for Highest Average Incomes, with 100,969.07 Standard Monetary Units.
