The High-Technate of Athretvari is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 31.29 billion Vari 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rebelzion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Athretvarian economy, worth an astonishing 27,083 trillion Athcoins 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is a breathtaking 865,562 Athcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people's love for Leader is little more than self-preservation, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, murderers are immune to arrest while attending their victims' funerals, and the government is pouring billions into replacement brains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Athretvari's national animal is the pygmy berserker-cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Scientific Universalism.

Athretvari is ranked 40^th in the world and 1^st in New Coalition of Nations for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 26,909.91 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
