The Federation of Autumn Meadows is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 296 million Meadowites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riverside. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Meadowite economy, worth 23.7 trillion AMDS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 80,121 AMDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The only women behind bars are barmaids, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and churches across the land are hurriedly installing auto-tune for their choirs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Autumn Meadows's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Autumn Meadows is ranked 25,528^th in the world and 146^th in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,018.11 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
