The Free Republic of Anaruda is a massive, safe nation, ruled by State Council with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.116 billion Anarudans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perrypolis. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Anarudan economy, worth 86.9 trillion liberts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 41,071 liberts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of State Council, and the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anaruda's national animal is the Ligwade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Anaruda is ranked 91,481^st in the world and 4,488^th in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 104.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
