The State of Formosa of Ancobristan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Premier Kane Genxin with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.027 billion Formosans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ansong. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.5%.

The very strong Formosan economy, worth a remarkable 1,086 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,522 Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 349,972 per year while the poor average 19,987, a ratio of 17.5 to 1.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, foreign governments regularly accuse the Formosan military of war crimes, and travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ancobristan's national animal is the White Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ancobristan is ranked 16,718^th in the world and 270^th in The East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 71,428.79 Standard Monetary Units.
