The Labour Sultanate of Anio is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sultan Namai with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.637 billion Anios are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Havelock. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.0%.

The very strong Anioan economy, worth 88.0 trillion Pions a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 53,779 Pions, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 159,373 per year while the poor average 14,247, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, Havelock has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Anio's new capital, and Sultan Namai has just been declared ruler of Anio in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Anio's national animal is the Bear.

Anio is ranked 268,018^th in the world and 7^th in The Cocoa Archipelago for Largest Black Market, with 105 billion Standard Monetary Units.
