The Dioecesis of Attike is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Basileus Thelaretus I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.565 billion Attici are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athenae. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Attic economy, worth 859 trillion drachmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 188,170 drachmas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 619,113 per year while the poor average 42,855, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

Hoping to get pregnant is considered sinful presumption, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls, and old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Attike's national animal is the lamb, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholic Christianity.

Attike is ranked 130,777^th in the world and 25^th in Catholic for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,246.2 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
