The Republic of Ankh 33 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 283 million Ankh 33ians 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 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Ankh 33ian economy, worth 2.80 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, 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 9,900 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 33's national animal is the caracal.

Ankh 33 is ranked 247,340^th in the world and 7,094^th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.82 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
