The Oppressed Peoples of Autharand is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 4.066 billion Autharandians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Autharandian economy, worth 26.1 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Trout Farming industry. Average income is 6,426 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Autharand City XV Regiment (aka "The Goat Starers") have yet to win a battle, visitors to Self-Sufficiency National Park who ask for trail maps are handed a pen and a blank sheet of paper, Leader goes out to lunch surrounded by large men in dark glasses, and politicians are often seen attending regional history classes at primary schools within their constituencies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Autharand's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Autharand is ranked 278,875^th in the world and 13,462^nd in Lazarus for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -5.83 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
