The Apolitical Soldier-State of Atsuria is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General-Captain Kalervo Kailas with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.322 billion Citizens 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Command Fortress City Vauraus. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Atsurian economy, worth a remarkable 2,866 trillion Vekselis a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 122,889 Vekselis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cat memes without alt text are now illegal, the banhammer is a standard police sidearm, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, and the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atsuria's national animal is the Karhu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of the Seven Scepters.

Atsuria is ranked 117,605th in the world and 37th in Fifth Empire for Most Stationary, with 312.5545916316 days.
