The Corporation of Ancap-istan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Hans Mcdonald with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.597 billion Ancap-istanis are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of McDonopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.

The powerhouse Ancap-istanian economy, worth 269 trillion McDollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 103,840 McDollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 333,185 per year while the poor average 24,539, a ratio of 13.6 to 1.

Jennifer Government is a bestseller, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, legions of police officers force people to move into massive urban apartments, and homes have been banned from having any more than one wheel. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ancap-istan's national animal is the Big Mac, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is THE Happy Meal.

Ancap-istan is ranked 99,845th in the world and 5,142nd in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,460.01 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
