The Imperial State of Northern Ateria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Tragan II with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 17.082 billion North Aterians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Outpost. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.1%.
The frighteningly efficient North Aterian economy, worth a remarkable 5,372 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 314,491 golds, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.
Athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, and throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Northern Ateria's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Northern Ateria is ranked 274,352nd in the world and 120th in Changuu for Nicest Citizens, with 0.48 average smiles per day.
