The Federative Republic of Atsvea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.087 billion Brazilians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brasília. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Brazilian economy, worth an astonishing 11,664 trillion Brazilian reais a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 773,135 Brazilian reais, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,693,534 per year while the poor average 56,670, a ratio of 82.8 to 1.

Citizens who become homeless are immediately executed, good-looking doctors are obliged by law to give foot rubs to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, citizens have to dodge their neighbors' drones while getting the morning paper, and elected officials often serve for decades in a single term. Crime is totally unknown. Atsvea's national animal is the Brazilian panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Atsvea is ranked 1,043^rd in the world and 7^th in Forest for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 14,598.28 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
