The Republic of Ankylosaur is a huge, safe nation, notable for its public floggings, strictly enforced bedtime, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 971 million Ankylosaurians 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 prioritizes Administration, with Education, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thyreophora. The average income tax rate is 63.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Ankylosaurian economy, worth 37.1 trillion rocks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 38,195 rocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has been kicking out foreign corporations in a bid to grow enough food for the populace, the government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, and the government says only criminals harp on about "innocent until proven guilty". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ankylosaur's national animal is the Ankylosaurus spiciiliocola, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ankylosaur is ranked 302,012^th in the world and 100^th in The Pacifica for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 13,864.89 Standard Monetary Units.
