The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Atsvea is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 19.413 billion Bats 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bat economy, worth an astonishing 19,200 trillion Candy Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 989,072 Candy Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, several inches are being added to first class seating, Bat politics is literally a blood sport, and metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Atsvea's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

Atsvea is ranked 352nd in the world and 1st in Fallen Nations for Most Cultured, scoring 578 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
