The High-Technate of Athretvari is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Strategosa Anra Agājio with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, anti-smoking policies, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 14.466 billion Athretvars enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

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 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Athretvarian economy, worth a remarkable 8,089 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 559,207 Жoperniҝs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. 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 188^th in the world and 1^st in New Coalition of Nations for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 15,797.65 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
