The Grand Duchy of Ansary is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, devout population of 358 million ansarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong ansarian economy, worth 21.3 trillion Ansarian Crowns a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,431 Ansarian Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, Ansarian farm salmon are known for being both horribly diseased and remarkably acrobatic, and souvenir shops that sell alphorns are taking advantage of gullible tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ansary's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ansary is ranked 258,284^th in the world and 293^rd in Christians for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
