The Confederacy of Attorovedland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, triple-decker prams, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.835 billion Attorovedlandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Attorovedlandian economy, worth 405 trillion schleps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,736 schleps, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds, and the face of Leader is a permanent feature of the Attorovedland City skyline. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Attorovedland's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Attorovedland is ranked 86,211^th in the world and 2^nd in The communers for Most Armed, with 0.55 weapons per person.
