The Republic of Antonilan is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working population of 411 million Antonilanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Antonilanian economy, worth 22.5 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 54,811 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, destitute athletes are forced to train in the street, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Antonilan's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Antonilan is ranked 71,805th in the world and 450th in NationStates for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,165.93 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
