| Introduction The Undisputed Atols are a collective of roughly a hundred small islands, many of them actually atolls bound together by a single, authoritarian government. The overbearing "Ministry of Internal Affairs" runs the day to day matters of the country and is the only department in the Atollian government. Nation: Undisputed Atols (Alt: Undisputed Atolls) Official Name: The Dominion of the Undisputed Atols. Adjective: Atolli Official Language: Atolli, a conglomeration of French and Russian. Official Motto: "Omnibus istis non placet nobis, ad hauriendum" or "All those not like us, in to the pits." Official Animal: The salmon, although the salmon that grow in the lagoons of the Undisputed Atolls are more closely related to sharks than standard domestic salmon. Government The government in the Undisputed Atols is comprised of four departments known as "Ministries": The Ministry of Interior Affairs, the Ministry of Allied Affairs, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Relations. The four ministries are connected by interdepartmental groups that often play convoluted games of Chinese whispers responsible for large portions of government waste. Lord President: Franco Ulswyre Government Type: Dictatorship Suffrage: Limited to those within the upper echelons of government. Opposition: Punishable by death. Economy The Atolli economy is based heavily on ancestry. As all workers in the Undisputed Atols are paid a fixed rate based on their living expenses as determined by the Sub-Ministry of Daily Pay, wealth accumulated prior to the shift now determines in a roundabout fashion to how well off individual citizens are now. Official Currency: The Nox. Unemployment Rate: Officially <5%, unofficially much higher. Chief Imports: Machinery, Consumer Goods Chief Exports: Salmon, Software Culture The Atolli people hold themselves with pride. Those that don't tend to fall victim of the semi-regular purges.

National Sports: Cycling, hockey and rugby have national status, although many other sports gain and lose national sports on the whims of government officials. |
