The I Still Love You Ijaka of Anchorus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Rudest People with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.563 billion Anchoris, 1.487 billion of whom are zombies, are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ancoră. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Anchori economy, worth 505 trillion wheels a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Gambling. Average income is 61,400 wheels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, citizens have to dodge their neighbors' drones while getting the morning paper, and the government terminates employment with extreme prejudice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anchorus's national animal is the seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Safberdism.

Anchorus is ranked 284,663rd in the world and 5th in Ijaka for Nudest, with 35 cheeks per square mile.
