The Orange Overminds of Antasca is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Overmind with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.334 billion Antascans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cavern. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Antascan economy, worth 461 trillion Dolges a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 138,429 Dolges, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, the tenet of free speech is held dear, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, and the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antasca's national animal is the Termitus Overmindium, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Overmindism.

Antasca is ranked 4,303rd in the world and 172nd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 15,972.9 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
