The Republic of Antibertiescum is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Justice Mahon with an even hand, and remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate population of 3.304 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of AntiGalwayTent City. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Retail.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, loans are available for students from poor families, and military spending is on the increase. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antibertiescum's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the puntonpunt.

Antibertiescum is ranked 350th in the South Pacific and 8,242nd in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 180 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
