The Philosopher-King of Atymnius is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.817 billion Atymniusians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Atymniusian economy, worth 432 trillion Denarii a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,596 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Atymnius's border, photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, and tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Atymnius's national animal is the dear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Atymnius is ranked 279,108^th in the world and 77^th in Britannia for Largest Black Market, with 71.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
