The Armed Republic of MidAtlantic Appalachia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Commander-n-chief Fin Macdonal with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.222 billion Patriots are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlas 1. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.2%.

The powerhouse Patriot economy, worth 89.9 trillion Capitalism Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 73,598 Capitalism Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 368,817 per year while the poor average 8,238, a ratio of 44.8 to 1.

Commander-n-chief Fin Macdonal has just been declared ruler of MidAtlantic Appalachia in an international press conference, clandestine emigration to countries with labor laws is all the rage, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, and councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MidAtlantic Appalachia's national animal is the Deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

MidAtlantic Appalachia is ranked 54,204^th in the world and 6^th in Scoutenia for Largest Agricultural Sector, scoring 2,705.8 on the Mu-Bah-Daggs Productivity Index.
