The Republic of Ankh 25 is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 284 million Ankh 25ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Ankh 25ian economy, worth 2.74 trillion piastres 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. 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 9,660 piastres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ankh 25's national animal is the caracal.

Ankh 25 is ranked 232,709^th in the world and 7,081^st in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 178.42 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
