The Federal Republic of Anaaxes is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Katherine Pearson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 17.248 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 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Anaaxese economy, worth a remarkable 1,415 trillion Anaaxese Common Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,093 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 9,469^th in the world and 31^st in Social Liberal Union for Smartest Citizens, with 91.99 Quips Per Hour.
