The Empire of Antrantica is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Élodie Bain with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.986 billion Antranticans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lutetia. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Antrantican economy, worth 433 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 145,114 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Third world countries are rich in "I Love Lutetia" t-shirts, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, and commemoration of the Great Europe War costs almost as much as the war itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antrantica's national animal is the Song Sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Antrantica is ranked 5,579^th in the world and 116^th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 199.21 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
