The Colony of Confederate Atlantis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jay Myers with an even hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.505 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 Education, Commerce, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Confederate Hawaii. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Woodchip Exports and Book Publishing.

All guns must be registered, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Confederate Atlantis to be bombproof, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Confederate Atlantis's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Platinum Dollar.

Confederate Atlantis is ranked 11th in SideWalk Zone and 115,703rd in the world for Most Pacifist, scoring -505 on the Lennon-Springsteen Scale.
