The Serene Atrythonic Kingdom of Atrito is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Edward II with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.46 billion Atritons enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Atritia. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Atriton economy, worth a remarkable 2,074 trillion Atriton Pounds a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,002 Atriton Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atrito is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, the Twelve Steps To Logging Off is the most popular mobile download, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and nations that kill an Atriton can expect a strongly worded letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atrito's national animal is the Atritic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Oceanic Paganism.

Atrito is ranked 5,636^th in the world and 239^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
