“In spe fortitudo”

The Republic of Anene is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its national health service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 864 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anene City. The average income tax rate is 78%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Anene in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown. Anene's national animal is the wildebeest, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Anenian coin.

Anene is ranked 155th in the region and 7,183rd in the world for Best Weather.
