The Orange Overminds of Antasca is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Overmind with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.741 billion Antascans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cavern. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Antascan economy, worth 702 trillion Dolges a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 148,166 Dolges, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, national parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', and scientists have great chemistry with their subjects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antasca's national animal is the Termitus Overmindium, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Overmindism.

Antasca is ranked 329,832nd in the world and 5,678th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.58 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
