The Curious Wonder Land of Anti Ringtone Songoria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 13.892 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

A government program is underway to revitalize Anti Ringtone Songoria's beaches, pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, and recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anti Ringtone Songoria's national animal is the defiant green frog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the sequined kitten heel.

Anti Ringtone Songoria is ranked 5th in the South Pacific and 175th in the world for Best Weather, with 883 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
