The Republic of Anrotea is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its feral children, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.526 billion Anroteans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Anrotean economy, worth 726 trillion Golds 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 large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 160,526 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, builders across Anrotea are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and the overhead luggage compartment is often full. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Anrotea's national animal is the Nothingpuss, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Anrotea is ranked 75,942^nd in the world and 21^st in Merciam for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 393.07 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
