The Democratic Republic of East Anteltal is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.611 billion East Anteltalians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anteltal City. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming East Anteltalian economy, worth 322 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 89,346 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Towns are often run by puppets, the revelation that people were sexist in the past is apparently front page news, voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, and convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Anteltal's national animal is the Highland cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Anteltal is ranked 7,357^th in the world and 209^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 125.39 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
