The Empire of Antarent is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Heleno de Antarent with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.264 billion Antarents are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miidaríva. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Antarentian economy, worth 303 trillion Antarent Roots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,128 Antarent Roots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, builders across Antarent are blocked up with orders for new public loos, tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury, and international organisations everywhere are united in their condemnation of the nation's zombified military (Antarent has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antarent's national animal is the Horned Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cardinalism.

Antarent is ranked 15,978^th in the world and 29^th in Aesica for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,878.31 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
