The Armed Republic of Atheromatous Beard is a very large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 342 million Atheromatous Beardians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.1%.

The strong Atheromatous Beardian economy, worth 26.1 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,238 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, the studies of art and philosophy are banned, exterminators swarm Atheromatous Beardian homes, and citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atheromatous Beard's national animal is the mouse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Atheromatous Beard is ranked 271,490^th in the world and 163^rd in Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum for Most Secular, with 10.94 Atheism Rate.
