The Principality of Autumn Wind is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Atropos Vicze with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 29.273 billion Autumn Windians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zyzzarzaz. The average income tax rate is 53.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Autumn Windian economy, worth a remarkable 3,438 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,474 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, environmental legislation occurs cyclically, contestants on Autumn Wind's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, and schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Autumn Wind's national animal is the Titanoboa, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Fascislammunism.

Autumn Wind is ranked 274,494th in the world and 10,791st in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 59 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
