The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Atsvea is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, disturbing lack of elderly people, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.316 billion Bats 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized 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 14,263 trillion Candy Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 874,210 Candy Gold Bars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,121,251 per year while the poor average 69,878, a ratio of 73.3 to 1.

Cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on Santa Claus's desk, mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Bats and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, hospitals in Atsvea are too busy serving the needs of Forest to see Bats, and travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs. Crime is relatively low. 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 2,718^th in the world and 14^th in Forest for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 13,380.08 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
