The Federation of Antei-Pockyn is a small, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 36 million Antei-Pockynians 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 Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 33.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Antei-Pockynian economy, worth 1.66 trillion Tundraines a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,115 Tundraines, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The tenet of free speech is held dear, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and children prefer to begin their day with push-ups rather than breakfast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antei-Pockyn's national animal is the Anteian White Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Antei-Pockyn is ranked 85,097th in the world and 75th in 8th International for Safest, scoring 88.71 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
