The Symbol of At is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by At with an even hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 22.978 billion Ats have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of At. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Atian economy, worth a remarkable 3,955 trillion Ats a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 172,147 Ats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
The nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from At's throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. At's national animal is the At, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.
At is ranked 217,716th in the world and 7,235th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -94.72 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
