The Flower Girl of Ananke II is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Queen of Thorns with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 39.551 billion Anankeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Social Policy, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casterly Rock. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Anankean economy, worth a remarkable 5,791 trillion kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,429 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, preservative-laden Anankean cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime is totally unknown. Ananke II's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ananke II is ranked 247,602^nd in the world and 720^th in 10000 Islands for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 45.7 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
