The Free Land of Annie the Dark Child is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.64 billion Annie the Dark Childians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Annie the Dark Childian economy, worth 217 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 46,963 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, and trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Annie the Dark Child's national animal is the Kitsune.

Annie the Dark Child is ranked 192,798^th in the world and 7^th in Bodt for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 888.54 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
