The Most Serene Jarldom of United Provinces of Atlantica is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Allsherjargoði Matteus Gunnlaugsson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, national health service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.674 billion Atlanticans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Social Policy, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stórkostlegurborg. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Atlantican economy, worth a remarkable 6,677 trillion Krónas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 270,647 Krónas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, populations of two-headed Brown bears have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime is totally unknown. United Provinces of Atlantica's national animal is the Brown bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Norse paganism.

United Provinces of Atlantica is ranked 923^rd in the world and 1^st in Aurelia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 173.76 law-abiding acts per hour.
