The Mysterious Island of Antirrhopus is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Archchancellor Anise IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 29.93 billion Antirrhoppans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dynotopia. The average income tax rate is 2.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Antirrhopusian economy, worth a remarkable 7,948 trillion dynoes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 265,559 dynoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, the true length of the coastline of Antirrhopus may never be measured, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and gossip magazines have pictures of Archchancellor Anise IV sunbathing on the beach with political rivals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Antirrhopus's national animal is the velociraptor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Twelve Codes.

Antirrhopus is ranked 2,910^th in the world and 154^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 131.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
