The Republic of Anthopia is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 384 million Workers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 64.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Anthopian economy, worth 19.1 trillion nectars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,839 nectars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, the seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, and people boast about their low income on their dating profiles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anthopia's national animal is the bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Anthopia is ranked 103,026^th in the world and 37^th in Hive for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
