The Serene Kingdom of Atrito is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Edaràdh Atrytía ac Śaemas with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.019 billion Atritons enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caerían Atrytía. The average income tax rate is 86.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Atriton economy, worth a remarkable 2,811 trillion Pound Caerífars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 187,223 Pound Caerífars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Private surgeons have been told to cut it out, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, the military's newest anti-tank strategy is throwing a landmine like a frisbee, and diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Atrito's national animal is the Atritic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Oceanic Paganism.

Atrito is ranked 278,024^th in the world and 4,059^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.12 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
