Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The GRO of Anime Daisuki is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Belldandy-sama with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 12.738 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrasil. The average income tax rate is 36%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Arms Manufacturing.

People are arrested for looking too sternly at whales, politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel, and the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Anime Daisuki's national animal is the keiichi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Love, and its currency is the hugs.

Anime Daisuki is ranked 1st in The Skeleton Army and 1,769th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
