The Republic of Anshul 1 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.523 billion Anshul 1ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Anshul 1ian economy, worth 126 trillion pounds 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 Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. 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 83,294 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Children are encouraged to fail at school so as not to appear too enlightened, trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anshul 1's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Anshul 1 is ranked 83,543^rd in the world and 16^th in Srivastava for Highest Average Incomes, with 83,294.17 Standard Monetary Units.
