The Confederacy of Attorovedland is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.144 billion Attorovedlandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Attorovedlandian economy, worth 583 trillion schleps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,389 schleps, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 399,249 per year while the poor average 23,317, a ratio of 17.1 to 1.
The government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code, commemoration of the Great Airfield War costs almost as much as the war itself, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Attorovedland's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Attorovedland is ranked 261,864th in the world and 3rd in Airfield for Most Primitive, scoring -137.26 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
