The Hundred Worlds of Lord Atum is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Atum with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, fear of technology, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 34.015 billion Atumites are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Mount. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.4%.

The powerhouse Atumite economy, worth a remarkable 4,013 trillion Sheshtas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 117,978 Sheshtas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 399,379 per year while the poor average 25,752, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

The law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, prematurely retired barristers twitch in anxiety when they talk about their courtroom experiences, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, and international trade is a sticky issue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lord Atum's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atumism.

Lord Atum is ranked 8,358th in the world and 1st in Goauld System Lords for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
