The Liberated Republic of Atomikz is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, unlimited-speed roads, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.013 billion Atomikzians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Atomikz. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Atomikzian economy, worth a remarkable 2,853 trillion gold dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 356,052 gold dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, and there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atomikz's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Atomikz is ranked 102nd in the world and 4th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 236.32 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
