The Archipelagic Socialist State of Atavi is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by the all-mighty penguin with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.157 billion Atavians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the city of nowhere. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Atavian economy, worth 564 trillion idks 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 178,937 idks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, and trains and passengers alike are often late. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atavi's national animal is the feather-bellied orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Atavi is ranked 3,018^th in the world and 21^st in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,341.1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
