The Commonwealth of Antstonia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marshall with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, devout population of 10.251 billion Antstonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Narrult. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Antstonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,703 trillion Antstonian Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 166,148 Antstonian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, back-alley holistic doctors carry crystals in long trench coats, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antstonia's national animal is the Eurasian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity and Judaism.

Antstonia is ranked 124,532nd in the world and 4,643rd in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 966.53 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
