The Republic of Atrocha is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Astrid Bethancourt with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.147 billion Atrochans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corales. The average income tax rate is 62.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Atrochan economy, worth 470 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,358 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chickens roam the streets freely, it's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atrocha's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Atrocha is ranked 22,866^th in the world and 498^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 259.84 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
