The Empire of Ateala is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Titus Carlisle with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.558 billion Atealans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diza. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Atealan economy, worth a remarkable 1,690 trillion Soliduses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 223,695 Soliduses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's no representation without taxation, billions of Soliduses are spent to take high-quality photos of the Fox Nebula, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and it's often raining men (hallelujah) in Diza. Crime is totally unknown. Ateala's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Ateala is ranked 4,393^rd in the world and 183^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 7,320.65 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
