The Sea King's Daughter of Ananke is a behemoth, genial nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 50.459 billion Anankeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magicality City. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Anankean economy, worth a remarkable 4,423 trillion kroner a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,667 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ananke is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, Ananke has designated Magicality City as its capital city, companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown. Ananke's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ananke is ranked 1,889^th in the world and 78^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 12,606.08 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
