The Republic of AtlanticGarth is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.075 billion AtlanticGarthians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 51.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong AtlanticGarthian economy, worth 228 trillion Gold Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,450 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, oilmen are in the business of greasing people's palms, and citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AtlanticGarth's national animal is the Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

AtlanticGarth is ranked 130,260^th in the world and 8^th in Atlantic for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,390.39 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
