“Constancy and Discretion”

The Purple Unofficial Empire of Antemyst is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Crystalline Fosterman with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.546 billion 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.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt individuals devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qumenee. Income tax is unheard of. A large private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and abortions are routinely performed in Antemyst's hospitals. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Antemyst's national animal is the anoli lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the cohoba.

Antemyst is ranked 5th in the region and 39,677th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
