The United Federation of Anarborous is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chairman May with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 13.962 billion Anarborans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Huron. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Anarboran economy, worth a remarkable 3,084 trillion Blue Bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 220,924 Blue Bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, Huron University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, digital novelty coins make for surprising vanguards of the revolution, and the default state for Anarborous is default. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anarborous's national animal is the Wolverine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Anarborous is ranked 238,722^nd in the world and 376^th in Europeia for Largest Black Market, with 197 billion Standard Monetary Units.
