The Principality of Ahntong is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prince Ahntong Torrathan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.493 billion are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vijaya. The average income tax rate is 42%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, surveillance cameras are banned, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ahntong's national animal is the Golden Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Cult of Cruor, and its currency is the Purple Shell.

Ahntong is ranked 62nd in Unknown and 102,835th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 11 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
