The Democratic Republic of Slands Atland is a massive, safe nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, soft-spoken computers, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.811 billion Atlians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asuak. The average income tax rate is 18.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Atlese economy, worth 147 trillion ¡⁄s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Gambling, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 52,599 ¡⁄s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Elections are outlawed and a hairstylist has recently received a government appointment, Atlians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, saying "don't do anything that Leader wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, and toast never burns but always has a weird chemical taste. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slands Atland's national animal is the Northern Utopian Penguin.

Slands Atland is ranked 210,613th in the world and 120th in Kelra for Fattest Citizens, with 9.25 Obesity Rate.
