The Republic of Anatea is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Edward II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 844 million Anateans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solisea. The average income tax rate is 34.9%.

The all-consuming Anatean economy, worth 78.5 trillion ₳ Anates a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,986 ₳ Anates, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Ten-year-olds are applying for lemonade stand operator licences, lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, and even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Anatea's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Anatea is ranked 29,082^nd in the world and 60^th in Anteria for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 96.2 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
