The Jolly Republic of Anarchic States is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Robert Bear with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 2.095 billion Anarchians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anarch City. The average income tax rate is 64.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Anarchic Statesian economy, worth 190 trillion Rebus 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Tourism, and Information Technology. 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 91,132 Rebus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Childhood friends of Robert Bear are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, Anarchic States isn't what it used to be, flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, and gambling is outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anarchic States's national animal is the Polar Bear with a Candy Cane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anti-Theism.

Anarchic States is ranked 41,005^th in the world and 1^st in SRAS for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
