The Order of Ankhion is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Sentinel Belenova with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.121 billion Ankhs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ankhan City. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ankhian economy, worth a remarkable 3,635 trillion Moncadoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,118 Moncadoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sentinel Belenova has promised 'power to the puppies', court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives, and some achieve retirement and some have retirement thrust upon them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ankhion's national animal is the Komodo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Arkonism.

Ankhion is ranked 310,067^th in the world and 379^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -25.88 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
