The Constitutional Monarchy of Atherica is a large, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 129 million Athericans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.5%.

The powerhouse Atherican economy, worth 11.4 trillion Vals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 88,485 Vals, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, citizens can freely debate whether Leader is a great leader or the greatest leader, and parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are given a short jail sentence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atherica's national animal is the comodo dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Atherica is ranked 26,513^th in the world and 22^nd in Sancturia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 52.5 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
