The Republic of Ativan is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.323 billion Ativanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 10.0%.

The Ativanian economy, worth 349 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 42,001 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ativan's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Ativan is ranked 92,099^th in the world and 3,266^th in The catholic military orders for Largest Populations, with 8.32 billion capita.
