The 𐑥𐑴𐑕𐑑 𐑕𐑩𐑮𐑰𐑯 𐑤𐑨𐑯𐑛 of Atempa is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by ·𐑤𐑿𐑩𐑤 𐑘𐑦𐑕𐑒𐑩𐑯𐑶𐑑𐑤 with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 24.659 billion Atempans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ·𐑕𐑒𐑿𐑑𐑨𐑤𐑨𐑚. The average income tax rate is 36.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Atempan economy, worth a remarkable 3,926 trillion 𐑖𐑦𐑙𐑑𐑿s 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. 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 159,230 𐑖𐑦𐑙𐑑𐑿s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A glyph of ·𐑤𐑿𐑩𐑤 𐑘𐑦𐑕𐑒𐑩𐑯𐑶𐑑𐑤 is worth a thousand letters, when it comes to WMDs Atempa has declared that the only winning move is not to play, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, and enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atempa's national animal is the 𐑒𐑪𐑒𐑩𐑑𐑮𐑦𐑕, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ·𐑩𐑑𐑧𐑥𐑐𐑩𐑯 𐑹𐑔𐑩𐑛𐑪𐑒𐑕 𐑗𐑼𐑗.
