The Republic of Publica is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Anaya Lane with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.834 billion Publicans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oppida Prima. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Publican economy, worth a remarkable 2,858 trillion denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 192,667 denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Anaya Lane's bedroom, the government funds large training centres to turn eagles into functioning members of society, a passport is literally priceless, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is totally unknown. Publica's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Publica is ranked 96,420th in the world and 7th in The Phoenix Imperium for Most Stationary, with 465.370014663 days.
