Location: The Proletariat Coalition

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Freedom Loving Republic of Atopia Prime is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Tony Blair with a fair hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.417 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

People faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, torture is illegal, and citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atopia Prime's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Bajan Dollar.

Atopia Prime is ranked 4th in The Proletariat Coalition and 71,622nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
