The United Kingdom of Atsuko is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.232 billion Atsukoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 22.4%.

The strong Atsukoan economy, worth 253 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 48,372 Delta Eagles, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

It is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and every day's an auto-de-fé day. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atsuko's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Atsuko is ranked 126,824^th in the world and 6^th in five for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.2 percentage of bribes refused.
