The High-Technate of Athretvari is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, flagrant waste-dumping, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 31.551 billion Vari 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rebelzion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Athretvarian economy, worth an astonishing 27,468 trillion Athcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is a breathtaking 870,594 Athcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens ask "how many crooks could a nunchuck hook if a nun had nunchucks too?", every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out, and Rebelzion spends billions upgrading public transport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Athretvari's national animal is the pygmy berserker-cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Scientific Universalism.

Athretvari is ranked 316,815^th in the world and 26^th in New Coalition of Nations for Most Primitive, scoring -2925.64 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
