The Kingdom of Athant

“A friend to all is a friend to none”

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

The Kingdom of Athant is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Constantine III with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.352 billion Athantians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athanas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The all-consuming Athantian economy, worth 702 trillion Rodins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 84,094 Rodins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 368,509 per year while the poor average 12,086, a ratio of 30.5 to 1.

Politicians have literally dirty hands from their extracurricular activities, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, and liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world". Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Athant's national animal is the Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Verdigrisism.

Athant is ranked 142,799^th in the world and 65^th in Barbaria for Safest, scoring 63.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
