The Republic of Atrocha is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rodrigo Sosa with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.3 billion Atrochans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Defense isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corales. The average income tax rate is 55.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Atrochan economy, worth a remarkable 1,046 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,548 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', and sleeping on the job is recommended. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atrocha's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Atrocha is ranked 13,038^th in the world and 281^st in The East Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 59.37 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
