[[Ayn Rand]]’s [[novel]], ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]'', has no definite historical background, apart from its obvious setting in the [[United States of America]]. But the actions of several of the major [[Literary type#Villain|villain]]s in the novel, and the titles that Rand used to describe them, clearly indicate that the United States would no longer be governed, in fact or perhaps even in law, according to its [[Constitution]]. Therefore, the novel makes its own background, though it gives few details and almost no political context. Furthermore, that background is uncannily parallel to current events.
