The Empire of Ateala is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Titus Carlisle with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 17.471 billion Atealans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diza. The average income tax rate is 53.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Atealan economy, worth a remarkable 3,889 trillion Soliduses a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 222,622 Soliduses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Atealans like vultures, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, and aspiring musicians couldn't give away their music if they tried. Crime is totally unknown. Ateala's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ateala is ranked 26,905th in the world and 406th in The North Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
