The Federal Republic of Aneth is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 373 million Anethians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aneth City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.8%.

The powerhouse Anethian economy, worth 33.3 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 89,147 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 283,098 per year while the poor average 21,387, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

The acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, putting a mustache on a banknote is considered defacing a national monument, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, and teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aneth's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Aneth is ranked 163,964^th in the world and 3,589^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 408.35 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
