The Federal Republic of Anaaxes is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Katherine Pearson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 16.596 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, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serenno. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Anaaxese economy, worth a remarkable 1,356 trillion Anaaxese Common Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,726 Anaaxese Common Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, the endangered saltwater humpback Grey Wolf is only seen in captivity programs, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. 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 Democratic Socialist Legalism.

Anaaxes is ranked 6,854^th in the world and 12^th in Social Liberal Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.08 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
