The Philosopher-King of Atymnius is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.722 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 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Atymniusian economy, worth 407 trillion Denarii a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,587 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, and public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people". 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 9,511^th in the world and 6^th in Britannia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 127,757.54 Standard Monetary Units.
