The Holy Empire of Atlun is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory military service. The devout population of 233 million Atlunians 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 large government prioritizes Administration, although Defense, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 55.6%.

The thriving Atlunian economy, worth 14.4 trillion Atlas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,881 Atlas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The welfare administration's new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atlun's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Atlun is ranked 173,610^th in the world and 4,961^st in the Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 78.2 Tourists Per Hour.
