The Protectorate of Anticio is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Chloe Bubbles with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.678 billion Anticians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yorbislev. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Antician economy, worth 614 trillion molecules of wealth a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 91,974 molecules of wealth, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community centers have arisen from the ashes of demolished houses of worship, there's a hole in the heart of every Antician city, government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, and the nation's ballot sheets often contain ten-thousand word manifestos for each party. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anticio's national animal is the Lesser Wild Particle Beam, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pythonism.

Anticio is ranked 211,282^nd in the world and 8,007^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4.24 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
