The United Kingdom of Anoun is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 235 million Anounians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 20.0%.

The Anounian economy, worth 13.3 trillion Geldens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 56,539 Geldens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, and political dissidents are cut off from essential services. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Anoun's national animal is the Unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Anoun is ranked 69,511^th in the world and 1,324^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Influential, scoring 556 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
