The Socialist Union of Antegia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Governor Susie Rosskovsky-Sawrus with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, vat-grown people, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.12 billion Antegians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladivetsk. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Antegian economy, worth a remarkable 1,612 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 314,879 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Supreme Governor Susie Rosskovsky-Sawrus has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Vladivetsk, disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity, and citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antegia's national animal is the Native Antegian Husky, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Antegian-Unionism.

Antegia is ranked 16,922^nd in the world and 1,117^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
