The High Athelingric of Anona is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, public floggings, and smutty television. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.992 billion Anonans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. The average income tax rate is 78.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Anonan economy, worth a remarkable 1,401 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 155,830 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, the air force's greatness is based on how many enemies are made during procurement, the house always wins, and 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anona's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Anona is ranked 11,090^th in the world and 5^th in Snep for Most Developed, scoring 90.16 on the Human Development Index.
