The Federal Republic of Aneth is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 421 million Anethians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aneth City. The average income tax rate is 22.8%.

The all-consuming Anethian economy, worth 38.3 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 91,042 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

In coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), bars are packed at all hours, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, and travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Aneth flights to avoid the pay lavatories. Crime is a 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 46,743^rd in the world and 1,106^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 28.99 flags saluted per person per day.
