The High-Technate of Athretvari is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 26.12 billion Vari love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ars Scientia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Athretvarian economy, worth an astonishing 20,150 trillion Athcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is a breathtaking 771,449 Athcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, appliance stores are finding spy cameras embedded in their unboxed merchandise, it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder, and residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Athretvari's national animal is the pygmy berserker-cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Scientific Universalism.

Athretvari is ranked 4,689^th in the world and 4^th in New Coalition of Nations for Most Corrupt Governments, with 234.31 kickbacks per hour.
