The Empire of Aatrozka is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.078 billion Aatrozkans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aatrozgrad. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Aatrozkan economy, worth a remarkable 1,937 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 273,760 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, and if they thought anyone would listen the older generation would likely say that nobody listens to them any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aatrozka's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aatrozka is ranked 886th in the world and 6th in The Communist Bloc for Most Patriotic, with 125.39 flags saluted per person per day.
