The Republic of AtlaeXII is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Calvin the I with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, anti-smoking policies, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.088 billion AtlaeXIIians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santaruz. The average income tax rate is 41.5%.

The powerhouse AtlaeXIIian economy, worth 257 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,310 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes all major gold finds, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, Jennifer Government is banned, and it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AtlaeXII's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atlaeism.

AtlaeXII is ranked 15,922^nd in the world and 966^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Black Market, with 38.0 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
