The Colony of Nautilus Atoll is a mammoth, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 8.539 billion Nautilus Atollians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.4%.

The Nautilus Atollian economy, worth 387 trillion scudoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 45,351 scudoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, genetic researchers have been expelled, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Nautilus Atoll's national animal is the nautilus, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Nautilus Atoll is ranked 203,745^th in the world and 6^th in Seaplane Base for Highest Average Incomes, with 45,351 Standard Monetary Units.
