The Flower Girl of Ananke II is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the Queen of Thorns with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 44.597 billion Anankeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Social Policy, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casterly Rock. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Anankean economy, worth a remarkable 6,703 trillion kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,309 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, preservative-laden Anankean cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime is totally unknown. Ananke II's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ananke II is ranked 13,825^th in the world and 131^st in 10000 Islands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 368.95 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
