The Democratic States of Athens But Better is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Socrates XXIV with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-working population of 5.342 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 Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Athens But Betterian economy, worth 457 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 85,710 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', and priests are being drafted by the church load. 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 41,331st in the world and 266th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 31.64 flags saluted per person per day.
