The Concordant Realm of Atlae is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Calvin the I with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, fear of technology, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.505 billion Atlaeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlaerskoiy. The average income tax rate is 36.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Atlaean economy, worth 150 trillion karubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,036 karubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Bike rage is all the rage, government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Atlae's national animal is the osprey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atlaeism.

Atlae is ranked 192,466^th in the world and 296^th in Frozen Circle for Highest Drug Use, scoring 31.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
