The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Atsvea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.328 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 14,293 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 875,407 Candy Gold Bars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,092,590 per year while the poor average 71,135, a ratio of 71.6 to 1.

Bad decisions are made very quickly, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, Atsvea's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, and royal processions are often mistaken for pride parades. Crime is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. 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 505^th in the world and 2^nd in Forest for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 19,762.4 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
