The ImagiNation of Antipathyonia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Max Power with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.588 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hippocampus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26%. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

DDT is used widely to repel disease-carrying insects, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, the government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects, and commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies. Crime is well under control. Antipathyonia's national animal is the Macaque , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Skrilla.

Antipathyonia is ranked 804th in 10000 Islands and 45,834th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
