The Starskiesiver Civilization of ATLANTIARIV is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Christjen Avasarala with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.735 billion Atlantiarivians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantiaiver. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient ATLANTIARIVian economy, worth an astonishing 16,555 trillion quantiaivers a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 989,291 quantiaivers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. ATLANTIARIV's national animal is the Atlantian Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

ATLANTIARIV is ranked 293,649^th in the world and 2^nd in Archipel for Nicest Citizens, with 0.09 average smiles per day.
