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

The Federal Kingdom of Athelhend is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by High King Arthur I with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 4.923 billion Athelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noirharve. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Athelian economy, worth 953 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,744 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, property values in suburbs have nosedived after the middle class were forced to live next door to ethnic minorities, and chewing tree bark proves to have limited value during childbirth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Athelhend's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Paganism.

Athelhend is ranked 11,196^th in the world and 1^st in The Greater Empire of Albion for Most Corrupt Governments, with 145.38 kickbacks per hour.
