The United States of Anasco-PR- is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.562 billion Anasco-PR-ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Anasco-PR-ian economy, worth 511 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 143,539 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 522,839 per year while the poor average 28,009, a ratio of 18.7 to 1.

Children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, the might of the entire Anasco-PR-ian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anasco-PR-'s national animal is the bald eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Anasco-PR- is ranked 240,849th in the world and 181st in Aerospace for Most Primitive, scoring -128.32 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
