The Armed Kirb of Atomic Trebuchet is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and public floggings. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.875 billion Atomic Trebuchetians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 42.5%.

The Atomic Trebuchetian economy, worth 111 trillion Hydrogen Atoms a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 59,661 Hydrogen Atoms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', and Leader is considering changing the Atomic Trebuchetian flag to one with more glitter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atomic Trebuchet's national animal is the 100 kg weight, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Atomic Trebuchet is ranked 50,768th in the world and 16th in Zalannian Kirbs for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,086.01 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
