The Order of Ankhion is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Sentinel Belenova with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.087 billion Ankhs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ankhan City. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ankhian economy, worth a remarkable 3,629 trillion Moncadoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,118 Moncadoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sentinel Belenova has promised 'power to the puppies', court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives, and some achieve retirement and some have retirement thrust upon them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ankhion's national animal is the Komodo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Arkonism.

Ankhion is ranked 307,364^th in the world and 376^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -29.07 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
