The Athatrondeasia of Athatrond is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.788 billion Athatrondians 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 large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Athatrondian economy, worth 93.5 trillion rubledollars 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 7,930 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, and government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Athatrond's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Athatrond is ranked 310,209^th in the world and 4,254^th in The catholic military orders for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
