The Colony of 22nd Century Cherfan1228 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jay Myers with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.402 billion Atlanteans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shadowville. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Atlantean economy, worth 795 trillion Silver Certificates a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 180,743 Silver Certificates, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Shadowville as a backdrop, politicians frequently make unusual poses during speeches in hopes of inspiring the next internet fad, farting etiquette is taught in schools, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime is totally unknown. 22nd Century Cherfan1228's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.
22nd Century Cherfan1228 is ranked 40,369th in the world and 31st in Shadowville for Most Corrupt Governments, with 53.32 kickbacks per hour.
