The Democratic States of Athens But Better is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Socrates XXIV with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working population of 5.291 billion Athens But Betters 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Athens But Betterian economy, worth 464 trillion Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,702 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice, citizens are being told that the greatness of a nation's power is the measure of its surrender, breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, and the unofficial motto of the nation's intelligence agency is "in Bont we trust". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Athens But Better's national animal is the Owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Athens But Better is ranked 13,720th in the world and 81st in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,349.53 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
