The Alliterating Apparatsjik of Antipov is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 35.177 billion Antipovians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bruxellov. The average income tax rate is 92.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Antipovian economy, worth a remarkable 6,952 trillion BEFS a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,650 BEFS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

"Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, shoving people into lockers qualifies you for a ministerial position, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and a positive GPA is all it takes to get an elite education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antipov's national animal is the Belgian Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Antipov is ranked 11,479th in the world and 2nd in The Featured Region Followers for Highest Average Incomes, with 197,650.12 Standard Monetary Units.
