The Federation of The Atlantic Ocean is a titanic, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 17.241 billion Atlanteans 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 Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.4%.

The strong Atlantic economy, worth 897 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,067 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and grandparents tell young ones tales of the good old days when people had cake on their birthday. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Atlantic Ocean's national animal is the Jozevian elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Atlantic Ocean is ranked 229,248^th in the world and 2^nd in Herrecode for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 29.61 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
