The Empire of Ateala is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Titus Carlisle with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 5.186 billion Atealans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diza. The average income tax rate is 57.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Atealan economy, worth a remarkable 1,160 trillion Soliduses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 223,815 Soliduses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All the playground's a stage for Atealan schoolchildren, light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime is totally unknown. Ateala's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Ateala is ranked 23,869^th in the world and 1,175^th in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 74.86 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
