The Kingdom of Upper Atlantio is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by His Benevolence with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.468 billion Upper Atlantioans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Atlantio City. The average income tax rate is 57.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Atlantioan economy, worth 146 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 99,712 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, fistfighting vigilantes tend to suffer a lot of gunshot wounds, practically perfect royal toddlers tend to say "regrettably not at this juncture" rather than "no", and when their backs are against the walls Upper Atlantioans look out for gay men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Atlantio's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Upper Atlantio is ranked 27,387th in the world and 1,612th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,999.37 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
