The Colony of Atticland is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.184 billion Atticlandians 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 government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 22.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Atticlandian economy, worth 72.9 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 61,607 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, and exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atticland's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Atticland is ranked 125,281st in the world and 14th in The Interdimensional Community for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,697.56 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
