The Ditto Infestation of The anARCHo is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The King of The Ditto with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, rampant corporate plagiarism, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.414 billion Anarchians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ditto City. The average income tax rate is 9.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Anarchian economy, worth 633 trillion DittoCoins 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. 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 an impressive 185,612 DittoCoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

State dairy cow's milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and the World Ditto Infestation Games have been won again by The anARCHo as no other country cares enough to compete. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The anARCHo's national animal is the Ditto, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Revised Dittoism.

The anARCHo is ranked 56,653rd in the world and 1st in True Anarchy for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,877.07 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
