The Kingdom of Under Atlantis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Neptune with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, vat-grown people, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.739 billion Drowned Sailors 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantis. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Under Atlantisian economy, worth a remarkable 4,155 trillion Airs a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 234,255 Airs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Drowned Sailors caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", and pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Under Atlantis's national animal is the Mermaid, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Under Atlantis is ranked 17,236^th in the world and 1^st in Atlantic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
