The Unbound Reaches of Star Atlas is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning beaver population. The quiet, industrious population of 10.252 billion Atlians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Star Atlasian economy, worth 350 trillion polises a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 34,209 polises, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Street gangs rule most of the nation's major cities, former arms manufacturing CEOs are now delivering food for minimum wage, workers have their fruitcake and eat it too, and no one is worried about government policies any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Star Atlas's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Star Atlas is ranked 244,709^th in the world and 90^th in Anarchy for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.56 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
