The Republic of Anli is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.886 billion Anlians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Anlian economy, worth 295 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 102,542 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader can cry on demand, frisbee games on college quadrangles are grounds for expulsion, mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, and pro-wrestling bouts open with a legal disclaimer insisting that any violence is guaranteed 100% faked. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anli's national animal is the giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Anli is ranked 61,848^th in the world and 550^th in the West Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 102,542.29 Standard Monetary Units.
