The Card-Carrying Zombie Army of The Atlae Isles is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Calvin the I with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.466 billion Atlaesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlaerskoiy. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Atlaesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,102 trillion karubles a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 200,919 karubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony, and tourists call Atlaesian beach towns "the fine coastline". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Atlae Isles's national animal is the osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atlaeism.

The Atlae Isles is ranked 20^th in the world and 1^st in The East Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 33,864.97 Bank.
