The National People's Republic of Ateljeboja is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 636 million Ateljebojans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lagdash. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ateljebojan economy, worth 45.6 trillion Ateljebojan Rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,714 Ateljebojan Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Ateljebojans incessantly needle their doctors for relief, oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, citizens are arrested for naturally producing proteins, and aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ateljeboja's national animal is the Ateljebojan Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ateljeboja is ranked 38,463^rd in the world and 1^st in gogos for Most Beautiful Environments, with 757.08 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
