The Federation of Old Atlantica is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Alpacapatrol with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 19.752 billion Atlanticans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alpacaville. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Atlantican economy, worth an astonishing 12,854 trillion Rainsticks 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 a breathtaking 650,772 Rainsticks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime is totally unknown. Old Atlantica's national animal is the Alpaca, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lokorism.

Old Atlantica is ranked 2,649^th in the world and 20^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 13,542.08 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
