The Milkman's Chosen of Anyu Rus is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Milkman with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.109 billion Anyu Rusians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Milkground. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Anyu Rusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,361 trillion milks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 331,449 milks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 972,543 per year while the poor average 89,046, a ratio of 10.9 to 1.

Real chickens replace rooster weather vanes on inner-city rooftop gardens, every workday begins with group therapy, cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, and Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anyu Rus's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Milkman.

Anyu Rus is ranked 294,644th in the world and 4th in Lands of Fel for Most Cultured, scoring 49 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
