The Commonwealth of Annamara is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Rusty Shackleford with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 3.745 billion Annamarans are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lawrence. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Annamaran economy, worth 462 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,457 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, structures are raised on promises, foreign workers are flooding in as credits flood out, and criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Annamara's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Science.

Annamara is ranked 67,392^nd in the world and 316^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,024.19 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
