The Democratic Republic of Democracy of Athrenus is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 5.185 billion Athrenusians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venice. The average income tax rate is 29.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Athrenusian economy, worth 353 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,243 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Parole board directors light up a joint before telling hash-brownie baking grannies that they have to stay behind bars, the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, and prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Democracy of Athrenus's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Democracy of Athrenus is ranked 130,021^st in the world and 23^rd in Byzantine Christendom for Most Primitive, scoring -41.62 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
