The All-Krussian Government of Atredies is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Marshal Thawne with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, compulsory vegetarianism, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.833 billion Atredians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ost-Syldavia. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Krussian economy, worth a remarkable 1,837 trillion Atredian Forints a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 268,889 Atredian Forints, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,284,905 per year while the poor average 32,997, a ratio of 38.9 to 1.

Families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up, tourists call Krussian beach towns "the fine coastline", businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, and the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atredies's national animal is the Sea Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Faith of the Seven.

Atredies is ranked 3,367^th in the world and 8^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 17,117.59 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
