Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Allied States of The Atlantic Forces is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 12.894 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Law & Order are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Atlantic Forces City. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, voting is compulsory, children are sent to either religious or secular schools, and a government program is underway to revitalize The Atlantic Forces's beaches. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Atlantic Forces's national animal is the Phoniex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Emerald Dollar.

The Atlantic Forces is ranked 26th in Hyrule and 101,170th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -62 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
