Location: The North Pacific

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Republic of Atrigea is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Nuri Alço with an even hand, and renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-working population of 8.912 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atrigeas . Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Tourism.

The minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Atrigea's national animal is the Haymana beygiri, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the triga.

Atrigea is ranked 59th in The North Pacific and 327th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 267 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
