The Republic of Antiyard is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 8.311 billion Antiyardians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caramba. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Antiyardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,675 trillion Konigs a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 201,547 Konigs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, and parents are fined for sending their children to take out the trash after sunset. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antiyard's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Antiyard is ranked 10,392^nd in the world and 335^th in The North Pacific for Highest Economic Output, with 1,675 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
