The Republic of Anrotea is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.531 billion Anroteans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Anrotean economy, worth 727 trillion Golds 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 a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 impressive 160,526 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, builders across Anrotea are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and the overhead luggage compartment is often full. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Anrotea's national animal is the Nothingpuss, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Anrotea is ranked 114,809^th in the world and 10^th in Merciam for Largest Populations, with 4.53 billion capita.
