The Republic of Atland

“Hebban Ollas Alkas Sea Hina Du An Ih”

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

The Republic of Atland is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.8 billion Atlanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 15.4%.

The Atlandish economy, worth 127 trillion Auks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 45,514 Auks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

The rich are forced to sell their houses to pay for more police to prevent their houses from being burgled, the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events, Atland successfully hosted the The TWR and NE Puppet Depot Olympics, and you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Atland's national animal is the whaup, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Atland is ranked 282,716^th in the world and 110^th in The TWR and NE Puppet Depot for Most Conservative, scoring 27.83 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
