The Empire of Ansoku is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Lotus with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, otherworldly petting zoo, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, humorless population of 10.861 billion Ansoks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tenno City. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ansokuan economy, worth a remarkable 2,164 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 199,310 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, helping grandma with her Misgendering 101 homework is a national rite of passage, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, and stern tutting by international commentators has persuaded Ansoku to disarm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ansoku's national animal is the Kavat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wizardology.

Ansoku is ranked 5,858^th in the world and 5^th in Lands End for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 7,711.1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
