The Federal Kingdom of Athelhend is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by High King Arthur I with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 4.831 billion Athelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noirharve. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Athelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,000 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,023 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, the Athelhend Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', and the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Athelhend's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Paganism.

Athelhend is ranked 5,725^th in the world and 1^st in The Greater Empire of Albion for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
