The United Colonies of New Atlantico is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Addison Riley with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.19 billion Atlantians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olympus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Atlantian economy, worth 807 trillion No Official Currencies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 192,713 No Official Currencies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,200,423 per year while the poor average 13,231, a ratio of 90.7 to 1.

One-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, taxpayers cringe whenever someone brings up the Former Antagonist Reparations Treaty, scaffolding is built around scaffolding to give safe access, and brazen mayors claim official expenses to pay for their drug habits. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. New Atlantico's national animal is the Great White Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestantism.

New Atlantico is ranked 284,486^th in the world and 6,671^st in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -373.25 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
