The Elegarthan Draconic Province of Anarth the Journalist is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 23.168 billion Draconians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Midgard. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Anarth the Journalistian economy, worth a remarkable 4,795 trillion Gold Coins a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 206,983 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Choice roles for female actors involve asking "Is there anything I can do for you?", ironic death by tasering is on the rise amongst door-to-door taser salesmen, confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, and all screens are equal but some are more equal than others. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anarth the Journalist's national animal is the Black Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Draconism.

Anarth the Journalist is ranked 261,698th in the world and 7th in House Elegarth for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 12,419 Standard Monetary Units.
