The Dictatorship of Republic of Auctoritas is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The cynical population of 823 million Auctoritans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Universalus. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Auctoritan economy, worth 81.4 trillion Auctoritan Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 98,882 Auctoritan Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and expensive show trials reveal the harshness of the nation's justice system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Auctoritas's national animal is the Siberian Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Republic of Auctoritas is ranked 275,723^rd in the world and 1,391^st in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 7.54 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
