The Strawberry-picker Sultanate of Antahbrantahstan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Jorge Marjono with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 20.714 billion Anturians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oreo City. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Anturian economy, worth a remarkable 3,165 trillion Oreos a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,814 Oreos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, Anturian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Jorge Marjono, and from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Antahbrantahstan. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antahbrantahstan's national animal is the Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is All Religions.

Antahbrantahstan is ranked 2,977th in the world and 49th in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 218 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
