The Matriarchy of Atoken Acro is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.296 billion Atoken Acroans 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 medium-sized, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Atoken Acroan economy, worth 332 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 45,538 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, a sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate, pollsters are out of a job as elections have been cancelled, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Atoken Acro's national animal is the acrocanthosaurus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Atoken Acro is ranked 47,703^rd in the world and 7^th in New Dinosaurtopia for Largest Black Market, with 18.5 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
