The Imperial Tsardom of Atrito is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tsar Corsac with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 3.257 billion Atritans 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, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Atritia. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Atritan economy, worth 491 trillion Imperial Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 151,010 Imperial Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, there's never enough space in space, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atrito's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Atrito is ranked 12,989^th in the world and 719^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,391.86 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
