The High-Technate of Athretvari is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Strategosa Anra Agājio with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 15.033 billion Athretvars are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ars Scientia. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Athretvarian economy, worth a remarkable 8,602 trillion Жoperniҝs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 572,216 Жoperniҝs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, and Strategosa Anra Agājio is famed for giving great back rubs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Athretvari's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Scientific Universalism.

Athretvari is ranked 780^th in the world and 2^nd in New Coalition of Nations for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 17,253.65 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
