The Federation of Underwater Sovereignties is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Nalora O'Brien with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.061 billion Attonesians 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 enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oceton. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Attonesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,801 trillion Shellcoins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,358 Shellcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Underwater Sovereignties's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Underwater Sovereignties is ranked 8,980^th in the world and 6^th in Equiterra for Lowest Crime Rates, with 103.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
