The Dominion of Supreme Authority is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Overseer with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, strictly enforced bedtime, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.082 billion subjects are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Dominionist economy, worth a remarkable 6,656 trillion CENSOREDS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 413,940 CENSOREDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, the practice of capital punishment proves divisive, nations across the world are quick to praise The Overseer's good looks and intellectual prowess, and petitioners are increasingly resorting to climbing through The Overseer's window to draw attention to their issues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Supreme Authority's national animal is the PETS ARE OUTLAWED, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is RELIGION IS OUTLAWED.

Supreme Authority is ranked 104,015th in the world and 3,900th in Osiris for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,242.29 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
