The Federation of Ankras is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Inteins Arek with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.299 billion Ankrasians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Ankras City. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ankrasian economy, worth 77.5 trillion Ankras Dollars 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 Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 59,637 Ankras Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, re-education centers are being added to most prisons, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, and the government pours millions of Ankras Dollars into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ankras's national animal is the Venusian Rabbit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ankras is ranked 92,123^rd in the world and 3,203^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 2,183.22 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
