The United Kingdom of Neo Atlas Paradise is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Matt Jaeger with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.734 billion Paridiseans 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eden. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Neo Atlas Paradisean economy, worth 417 trillion Gears a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 240,870 Gears, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign investment has dropped to a trickle after laws were passed preventing investors from taking their earnings abroad, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, and there's no such thing as bad publicity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Neo Atlas Paradise's national animal is the Kraken, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Neo Atlas Paradise is ranked 5,521^st in the world and 7^th in Philosophers for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 530.63 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
