The Rogue Nation of Athateus is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The devout population of 5.47 billion Athateusians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 32.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Athateusian economy, worth 160 trillion francs a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,384 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent. Athateus's national animal is the falcon.

Athateus is ranked 219,950^th in the world and 2^nd in Auralia for Most Patriotic, with 4.24 flags saluted per person per day.
