The United Kingdom of Atramentar is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Ragnar Zedwardius Ticondraeus with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 21.806 billion Atramentaris have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Threnody. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Atramentari economy, worth a remarkable 1,508 trillion thrones a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,172 thrones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Bris parties are all the rage, rare art has become a significant factor in negotiating all foreign trade agreements, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Atramentari Space Agency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atramentar's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Asatria.

Atramentar is ranked 96,753^rd in the world and 4^th in AEGIS for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,523.18 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
