The State of Anacostiac is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 37.944 billion Anacostiacians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.
The very strong Anacostiacian economy, worth a remarkable 2,001 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 52,753 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 358,658 per year while the poor average 2,834, a ratio of 126 to 1.
Military spending is on the increase, voting is voluntary, graffiti graces every city's streets, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Anacostiac's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Anacostiac is ranked 135,609th in the world and 654th in 0000 for Most Stationary, with 233.9748155338 days.
