The Settled Peoples of The Anti-Traction League is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chairman Batmunkh with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.923 billion Anti-Tractionists are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tienjing. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The anti-tractionist economy, worth 288 trillion coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,539 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every anti-tractionist grocery store, moonshine has made a resurgence, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, and rumor has it that Chairman Batmunkh has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Anti-Traction League's national animal is the cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Anti-Traction League is ranked 131,459^th in the world and 44^th in MJT for Highest Average Incomes, with 58,539.91 Standard Monetary Units.
