The Fallen Empire of Ataraxia Somnia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Os Invidian with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 6.823 billion Somniums 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vitae Mori. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Somnolentus economy, worth a remarkable 1,050 trillion Sacrons a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,031 Sacrons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's all quiet on the western front, executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist, Chekhov's guns are killing the entertainment budget, and people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ataraxia Somnia's national animal is the Koala, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ataraxia Somnia is ranked 108,789^th in the world and 5,457^th in The North Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 56.76 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
