The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Atsvea is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, prohibition of alcohol, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.304 billion Bats 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 juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bat economy, worth an astonishing 14,250 trillion Candy Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 874,041 Candy Gold Bars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,032,129 per year while the poor average 72,764, a ratio of 69.2 to 1.

International organisations everywhere are united in their condemnation of the nation's zombified military (Atsvea has found 12 easter eggs), environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, and you can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs. Crime is well under control. Atsvea's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

Atsvea is ranked 127th in the world and 2nd in Forest for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 64,215.99 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
