The Empire of Atrox Deus is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.235 billion Atroxians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragotopia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Atroxian economy, worth 418 trillion Sins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 187,033 Sins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,028,994 per year while the poor average 17,245, a ratio of 59.7 to 1.

Telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, a new "thought police" branch is being developed, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, and the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atrox Deus's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Atrox Deus is ranked 85,897^th in the world and 172^nd in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 315.79 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
