The Enlightened Federation of Anshari is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.758 billion Anshari are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rok'Kar. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Anshari economy, worth 697 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,903 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, the government spends twice as much reclaiming lost settlements from the sea as it could've on coastal defences, and amorous nobles always bring the same disappointing gift to weddings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anshari's national animal is the Ursadon, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is The Covenant of the Trinity.

Anshari is ranked 192,876th in the world and 4,655th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 57.13900509768 days.
