The Republic of Anamnesis is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 2.645 billion Anamnesisians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The strong Anamnesisian economy, worth 124 trillion glimmers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 47,170 glimmers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 271,807 per year while the poor average 3,919, a ratio of 69.4 to 1.

Livestock mutilations are on the rise, declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing Leader to progressive thinkers, Leader has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and Anamnesis has designated Anamnesis City as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Anamnesis's national animal is the black cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Anamnesis is ranked 254,291^st in the world and 431^st in Prison for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 23.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
