The Surroundings of AnuSaukko is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 20.329 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Teenage fathers are forced to join the army, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, the government is reigning in public spending, and the government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AnuSaukko's national animal is the koira, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the markka.

AnuSaukko is ranked 2nd in Suomi and 91,697th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
