“I am known as Gengas an572.”

The Mongolian Leader of An572 is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ryan Triepke with an iron fist, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.728 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Soda Sales.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, the Great An572 Desert is reputedly the most uninhabitable place in the region, political activists are routinely executed, and cities are engulfed by smog. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. An572's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is An572ism, and its currency is the Coin.

An572 is ranked 1st in the region and 2,665th in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
