The People's Republic of Atrepublon is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 514 million Atrepublonians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atrepublonia. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Atrepublonian economy, worth 41.4 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 80,622 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, Atrepublonian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atrepublon's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Atrepublon is ranked 9,124^th in the world and 3^rd in The Alliance of Dictators for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,922.3 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
