Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Anikatia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Baczewski and PM Gualtieri with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.566 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

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 Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antiytia. The average income tax rate is 92%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Uranium Mining.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, the government is forced to pander to the will of every fruitcake politician, all alcohol is banned, and citizens wishing to leave the country must surrender half their wealth to the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anikatia's national animal is the Goldcrest Eaglehawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Anikuro.

Anikatia is ranked 257th in Europeia and 25,417th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
