The Dictatorship of Atlas Protectorate is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 163 million Atlas Protectorateans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 54.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Atlas Protectoratean economy, worth 8.42 trillion Atlans 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. 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 51,670 Atlans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

A Conch Kingdom Tourist Association survey has rated Atlas Protectorate #1 for number twos, colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Atlas Protectoratean Liberator", five-hundred-twenty-five-thousand-six-hundred revivals is how theatre-goers measure a year, and it takes all playtime for children to locate their friends among two hundred identical heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atlas Protectorate's national animal is the Vulture, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Atlas Protectorate is ranked 72,201^st in the world and 157^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 986.39 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
