The Republic of Attemptia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.825 billion Attemptians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Attemptia City. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Attemptian economy, worth a remarkable 1,856 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 144,732 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

On-duty Air Attemptia flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in Attemptian restaurants, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, and certain national parks offer tanning beds because the visitors never go outside. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Attemptia's national animal is the Raccoon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Attemptia is ranked 11,056^th in the world and 604^th in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 154.42 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
