The Empire of Antarent is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Heleno de Antarent with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.221 billion Antarents are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miidaríva. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Antarentian economy, worth 296 trillion Antarent Roots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,712 Antarent Roots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", third world countries are rich in "I Love Miidaríva" t-shirts, large sections of Antarent have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, and fighter pilots crash out of the air after failing to understand their foreign instruction manuals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antarent's national animal is the Horned Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cardinalism.

Antarent is ranked 12,476^th in the world and 14^th in Aesica for Most Developed, scoring 89.31 on the Human Development Index.
