The Republic of Athos four is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 22.48 billion Athos fourians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 63.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Athos fourian economy, worth a remarkable 1,875 trillion $$s a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,422 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation refuses to provide international aid, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Athos four's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Athos four is ranked 3,165th in the world and 1st in Communist Party of Nations for Most Stationary, with 3,754.66426368 days.
