“my capital city based of titanium”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Kingdom of Ateth is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 488 million Atevians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of titrus. The average income tax rate is 46.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Atethian economy, worth 23.4 trillion auwls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 47,967 auwls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and sex changes are routinely performed at Ateth's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ateth's national animal is the orange tabby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ateth is ranked 136,814^th in the world and 52^nd in Africa for Largest Black Market, with 1.29 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
