The Federation of AtlanticTradeUnion is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gilgamesh with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.203 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Equality and the Environment are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of UrbanX. The average income tax rate is 95%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

All tariffs have been abolished, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, and loans are available for students from poor families. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. AtlanticTradeUnion's national animal is the Drop Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Pylon.

AtlanticTradeUnion is ranked 61st in the South Pacific and 2,757th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 15 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
