The Been here too long of The Atlae Isles is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Calvin the I with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.3 billion leprechauns hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlaerskoiy. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient leprechaunish economy, worth a remarkable 3,701 trillion gold bars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 213,958 gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, Chekhov's guns are killing the entertainment budget, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and tax returns detail how many games of slots each citizen will be able to play with their refund. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Atlae Isles's national animal is the leprechauns, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atlaeism.

The Atlae Isles is ranked 2,978th in the world and 62nd in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,481.34 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
