The Democratic Republic of Authoria

“War be not a means for peace but a symptom of chaos”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Authoria is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Presidente Juan De Lion with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.951 billion Authorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Alidomingana. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Authorian economy, worth 737 trillion USDS a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,320 USDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, future leaders of Authoria regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, and both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Authoria's national animal is the Orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Authoria is ranked 37,860^th in the world and 2,412^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
