The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Atsvea is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and conspicuous electricity pylons. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 19.452 billion Bats 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 Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bat economy, worth an astonishing 19,171 trillion Candy Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 985,581 Candy Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are battling inequality by declaring themselves better than everyone else, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Santa Claus wears an armoured gauntlet, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, and the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Bat Dung" has been declared a national treasure. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Atsvea's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

Atsvea is ranked 84th in the world and 1st in Fallen Nations for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,828.26 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
