The United Socialist Kingdom of Lower Antegria is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The National Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.149 billion Lower Antegrians 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calliope. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lower Antegrian economy, worth 149 trillion Gennels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,130 Gennels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, daydreaming on public transport is considered impolite, and a sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lower Antegria's national animal is the Xoloitzcuintli, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lower Antegria is ranked 11,111^th in the world and 19^th in Karma for Highest Poor Incomes, with 119,268.28 Standard Monetary Units.
