The Free Land of Bira Atty is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 219 million Biratis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Bira Attyian economy, worth 6.05 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Basket Weaving. Average income is 27,648 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, Leader's reputation is hard as nails, and government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bira Atty's national animal is the tailless whip scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bira Atty is ranked 223,633^rd in the world and 3,152^nd in the Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 23.24 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
