The Republic of Atlaptume is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Haris with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 7.309 billion Atlaptumeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Atlaptume. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Atlaptumean economy, worth 716 trillion Tumeses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 97,976 Tumeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, and every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Atlaptumean. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atlaptume's national animal is the Atlaptumean Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Atlaptume is ranked 13,493^rd in the world and 46^th in The Free Nations Region for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 83.4 Effective Tax Rate.
