Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Santuario of Casa Atahualpa is a colossal, devout nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 9.08 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.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24%. A large private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, the military struggles with recruitment, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, and euthanasia is legal. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Casa Atahualpa's national animal is the conejo, and its currency is the hoja.

Casa Atahualpa is ranked 3rd in Machu Picchu and 88,363rd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 8 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
