What's your nation's bestseller/most popular book?

As the topic says. If your nation uses E-books and they've replaced it, then state the one with most downloads.

State yours first.

Ours would be "Ogeno Fıntou", the autobiography of Great Leader Caokhüa Dien.

The most popular here is the Integrated Ideas of Revolution, including merged new ideas for socialist revolution with the help of superior tech and others. If you do not count the Qu'ran, it's the bestseller high up above with a total of 3 billion volumes sold. People carry it around everyday when not preaching.

The two most popular books in Alizeria are the Church of Alizeria Bible (which is like a regular Bible but with an extra book, the Gospel of Ian, added) and the Edward's Cook Book.

By a great margin the most commonly downloaded e-book in Mechanocratic Russia is The Communist Manifesto. Running in second place is The Thoughts of Chairman Mao: while the government aren't Maoist by any stretch of the imagination, many consider it to be good further reading once you've finished the Manifesto.

Surprisingly, the most commonly downloaded e-book in the fiction department is Elysium, adapted from a Hollywood film of the pre-war era. While consuming any Western media is technically samizdat, and therefore illegal, internet material is so difficult to regulate that an overwhelming percentage of it is exempted from media laws (only overtly seditious material, such as The Wealth of Nations, is punished by a Gulag sentence). The most popular openly Communist literary piece ranks eleventh, and that is What Is To Be Done?.

In non fiction, 'The Connurist Manifesto' , written in 1927, which sets out the policies, aims and ideas of Connurism (NOT to be confused with Communism).

In the fiction department, the Bible does not make it into the top ten. 'The Hunger Games' trilogy has sold the most units within our nation in this department.

We think our most popular book is Delight by Harold Abrams. Our most popular foreign book is probably The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, at the moment, but The Giver by Lois Lowry has sold more.

Älkar Serino Des Flagaritt - A book widely considered Vvarden's best book. It follows the story of a fantasy kingdom throughout time, from technological advances like the Industrial Revolution, in fantasy, all the way to leaving the planet behind to search for more to colonize.
