The Kingdom of Ancheay is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 379 million Ancheayians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anchea. The average income tax rate is 49.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ancheayian economy, worth 17.8 trillion ancs a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,978 ancs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, no one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits, and a proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ancheay's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Ancheay is ranked 206,286th in the world and 1,463rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.95 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
