The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Atsvea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by empress Santa Claus with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, strictly enforced bedtime, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.244 billion atsveans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrasil. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient atsvean economy, worth an astonishing 14,128 trillion Candy Cane Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 869,766 Candy Cane Gold Bars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,024,817 per year while the poor average 71,831, a ratio of 70.0 to 1.

Pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids, it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, Atsvea has begun an effort to aggressively conquer neighboring countries (Atsvea has found 8 easter eggs), and neighboring nations are tired of Atsvea's big fish stories. Crime is relatively low. Atsvea's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

Atsvea is ranked 189,109th in the world and 275th in Forest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
