The Rxinesinqalastat of Neo-Antarticana is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Queen-Priestess Izalakai Generov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.117 billion Antarticanans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystalia. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Antarticanan economy, worth 849 trillion Moneik'rs 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Retail, and Trout Farming. 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 138,929 Moneik'rs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, the true length of the coastline of Neo-Antarticana may never be measured, and wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo-Antarticana's national animal is the capybara, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Children of Kat'herina.

Neo-Antarticana is ranked 29,796th in the world and 3rd in Zero for Safest, scoring 109.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
