The Best Nation of Auttumn is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.73 billion Auttumnians, 8.308 billion of whom are zombies, enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo-3. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Auttumnian economy, worth a remarkable 3,032 trillion Leaves a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 96,423 Leaves, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", stoned tourists don't tend to remember much about their holidays here, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Tokyo-3 to enjoy their national art. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auttumn's national animal is the Charmeleon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Auttumn is ranked 1,741^st in the world and 103^rd in Balder for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,905.79 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
