The Empire of South Altlanta is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.03 billion Germans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stedinger. The average income tax rate is 9.7%.

The powerhouse South Altlantan economy, worth 93.8 trillion German Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,100 German Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, the only women behind bars are barmaids, crackheads chase drug-loaded drones in hopes of a lucky drop, and unemployed youngsters trained to kill are being released en masse into society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. South Altlanta's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

South Altlanta is ranked 45,645^th in the world and 3^rd in Brannackia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,691.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
