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

The Aquatic Supremacy of Lord of Atlantis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Neptune with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 35.324 billion Lord of Atlantisians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of AtlantisCity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Lord of Atlantisian economy, worth a remarkable 4,830 trillion seashells 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an impressive 136,738 seashells, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 440,503 per year while the poor average 32,124, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Lord of Atlantisian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, offering a builder a cup of tea is a legal minefield, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and the military has gone fission for more funding. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lord of Atlantis's national animal is the merfolk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

Lord of Atlantis is ranked 35,850^th in the world and 38^th in Nederland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
