The Democratic Republic of Anthil is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the people with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 37.072 billion Anthilians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anthil City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The enormous but underdeveloped Anthilian economy, worth a remarkable 4,410 trillion Does a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 118,963 Does, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anthil's national animal is the ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is atheist - antitheist.

Anthil is ranked 26,400^th in the world and 773^rd in Lazarus for Most Income Equality, scoring 73.9 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
