The Republic of AnnaK is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mr Slate with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.22 billion AnnaKians 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bedrock. The average income tax rate is 89.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient AnnaKian economy, worth 767 trillion Clams 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 123,323 Clams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
School lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, and legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AnnaK's national animal is the Snorkasaurus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Paganism.
AnnaK is ranked 75,632nd in the world and 1,724th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 18.54 flags saluted per person per day.
