The Federation of Antarean Republics is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 437 million Antareans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scorpius. The average income tax rate is 62.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Antarean economy, worth 33.2 trillion Antarean Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,011 Antarean Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

There's a big brother in every prison, private digital records now come with a convenient "download" button, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antarean Republics's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Antarean Republics is ranked 31,523^rd in the world and 176^th in Refugia for Safest, scoring 108.48 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
