The Federal Socialist Republic of Atlanc is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Supreme's People Council of Atlanc with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.32 billion Atlancians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantis. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Atlancian economy, worth 708 trillion Marxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 213,504 Marxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government employees from Atlanc dominate international lumberjack competitions, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, and when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atlanc's national animal is the Salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Marx-Leninism.

Atlanc is ranked 312,752^nd in the world and 1,049^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Primitive, scoring -632.74 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
