The Empire of Anstyria is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 40 million Anstyrians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 10.3%.

The very strong Anstyrian economy, worth 2.47 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 61,846 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, the Anstyrian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", and Eckie-Ecola has declared that their soda poop is The Real Thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Anstyria's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Anstyria is ranked 77,270^th in the world and 14^th in Waifu for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 101.18 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
