The Principality of Antio Par is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Crisco Salvador IV with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, vat-grown people, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.081 billion Antio Parians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vita Centurion. The average income tax rate is 65.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Antio Parian economy, worth 101 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Basket Weaving. Average income is 93,686 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint, the media seems excessively interested in what Crisco Salvador IV is wearing this season, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, and high school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antio Par's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Court of Crows.

Antio Par is ranked 29,360^th in the world and 1,660^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
