The Changing State of AnkoKurama is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hawke with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.271 billion AnkoKuramen are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stargazer. The average income tax rate is 1.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient AnkoKuraman economy, worth a remarkable 3,729 trillion Starlights a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 123,201 Starlights, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, and young people never forget their first roommate — no matter how much counselling they have. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AnkoKurama's national animal is the Tiny Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Anonymous.

AnkoKurama is ranked 282,279th in the world and 3rd in Oketoh for Safest, scoring 4.74 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
