The Philosopher-King of Atymnius is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.928 billion Atymniusians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Atymniusian economy, worth 447 trillion Denarii a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,517 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The children of Atymnius are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Atymnius City for fear of causing a fuss, corporate recruiters have adopted 'at least it's not government work' as their new catchphrase, and preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government. Crime is totally unknown. Atymnius's national animal is the dear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Atymnius is ranked 122,167^th in the world and 69^th in Britannia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,714.57 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
