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.
