The Queendom of Antoletia is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.986 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albastru City. The average income tax rate is 66%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

The government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, the army is returning some law and order to the streets, the nation leads Rushmore in per capita stalking, and the government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Antoletia's national animal is the Bengal Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Tolin.

Antoletia is ranked 44th in Rushmore and 36,783rd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 29 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
