The Federal Socialist Republic of Atlanc is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Supreme People's Council of Atlanc with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.078 billion Atlancians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantis. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Atlancian economy, worth 363 trillion Marxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 174,710 Marxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, if there's something strange in your neighborhood you call Brancaland, and children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atlanc's national animal is the Salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Marx-Leninism.

Atlanc is ranked 1,450^th in the world and 27^th in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 154.89 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
