Skateparks can be found in every city, children are raised bilingual from an early age, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, and the people of Ananke Valar are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes. Crime is relatively low. Ananke Valar's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the krone.

Ananke Valar is ranked 42nd in Nasicournia and 80,306th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
