The Federal Republic of Anaaxes is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Katherine Pearson with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 20.71 billion Anaaxese hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serenno. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Anaaxese economy, worth a remarkable 1,810 trillion Anaaxese Common Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,411 Anaaxese Common Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Anaaxese officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, the government is lax about national security during the Christmas period (Anaaxes has found 2 easter eggs), and President Katherine Pearson's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anaaxes's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheistic Legalism.

Anaaxes is ranked 42,138^th in the world and 77^th in The Social Liberal Union for Most Income Equality, scoring 64.29 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
