The Authorotative Edition of Anerak is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by All Father Sigley with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 33.825 billion Anerakians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gubergrad. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Anerakian economy, worth a remarkable 7,717 trillion doubloons 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms 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 amazing 228,159 doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anerak's national animal is the dogma, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Frisbeetarianism.

Anerak is ranked 6,479^th in the world and 1^st in Morrow for Highest Food Quality, scoring 189.91 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
