The United Kingdom of Atsuko is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its public floggings, avowedly heterosexual populace, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.016 billion Atsukoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 22.4%.

The strong Atsukoan economy, worth 242 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 48,372 Delta Eagles, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

It is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and every day's an auto-de-fé day. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atsuko's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Atsuko is ranked 129,395^th in the world and 2^nd in five for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 545.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
