The Nature of Atiyoga is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 18.199 billion Awakened Ones are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Awakened economy, worth 321 trillion Buddha-Natures 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 17,643 Buddha-Natures, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atiyoga's national animal is the Snow Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Atiyoga is ranked 5,655th in the world and 1st in Lhasa for Most Stationary, with 3,038.66472192 days.
