The Holy Sword of Antiquas is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Saint George with an even hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning horse population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 24.198 billion Antiquasians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sword City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.4%.

The thriving Antiquasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,375 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 56,842 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 177,907 per year while the poor average 13,927, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

The government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', Saint George has just been declared ruler of Antiquas in an international press conference, hackers post hourly updates on international summits, and Antiquas has designated Sword City as its capital city. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antiquas's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Antiquas is ranked 93,246th in the world and 1st in Black Bear for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,595.63 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
