The Creaking Casino Floors of Anathema Armaments is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Anathema Armament's CEO Vincent Anathema with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, digital currency, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 18.098 billion Anathemagicians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Matériel Credit Forge District. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Anathemagician economy, worth a remarkable 9,059 trillion Matériel Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 500,577 Matériel Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,669,035 per year while the poor average 4,752, a ratio of 982 to 1.

Major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, the sidewalk is used as an overtaking lane by city drivers, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, and the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Anathema Armaments's national animal is the Shrieking Hellfire Spider, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Matériel Credit Bank of Anathema.

Anathema Armaments is ranked 294,771st in the world and 7,332nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Cultured, scoring -55 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
