The Artwork-Acquisition Androids of Authoritaria-Imperia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by E Tern Alstair with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.995 billion Authoritaria-Imperians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial Summaville. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Authoritaria-Imperian economy, worth a remarkable 1,218 trillion lumens 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. 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 203,214 lumens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Authoritaria-Imperia's national animal is the silver-grey wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Universal Compliance.
