The Nomadic Refugee Merc Fleets of Battlegroup Anna is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Admiral Henrietta Lutzow with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.83 billion citizens are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colony Ship Presidia County. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Battlegroup Annan economy, worth 66.6 trillion ration chits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 13,788 ration chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All you have to do is pray to get into Battlegroup Anna, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, sea side cafes are required by law to close during summer, and traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Battlegroup Anna's national animal is the Ship's Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of the Three Saints.

Battlegroup Anna is ranked 180,529th in the world and 2nd in Bricks and Bags for Most Stationary, with 76.6172773538 days.
