The Velocracy of The Anaerobic Republic is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Godot with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.107 billion Anaerobic Republicians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Voigtgrad. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Anaerobic Republician economy, worth a remarkable 5,141 trillion Lucres a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 243,606 Lucres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, Anaerobic Republician husbands are dead good at fathering kids, foreign investment has dropped to a trickle after laws were passed preventing investors from taking their earnings abroad, and environmentalists are staging large protests in front of reopened nuclear power plants. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Anaerobic Republic's national animal is the Wombat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Anaerobic Republic is ranked 265,971st in the world and 289th in United Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
