The Queendom of Animare is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.723 billion Animareans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.0%.

The powerhouse Animarean economy, worth 583 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,890 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Birth rates have hit an all-time low, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, Leader's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, and pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Animare's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Animare is ranked 293,367^th in the world and 3,534^th in Remembrance for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 32.09 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
