The Most Serene Republic of Anatheoi is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 204 million Anatheoians 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, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Anatheoian economy, worth 6.75 trillion theoros 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 33,071 theoros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Posing for pictures is an integral part of military training, representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, public buses smell like litter boxes, and busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anatheoi's national animal is the mute swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Anatheoi is ranked 288,696^th in the world and 1,151^st in Europeia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,731.55 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
