The Colony of Antonera is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.427 billion Antonerans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antorena. The average income tax rate is 61.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Antoneran economy, worth 162 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,153 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Students cut up leftover Pounds during Arts and Crafts, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, Antoneran junkies argue that poppy stalks are ornamental flowers, and urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antonera's national animal is the Dawg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Antonera is ranked 22,827^th in the world and 21^st in Angelic League for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,097.32 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
