The Creaking Casino Floors of Anathema Armaments is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Anathema Armament's CEO Vincent Anathema with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, unlimited-speed roads, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 18.128 billion Anathemagicians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Matériel Credit Forge District. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Anathemagician economy, worth a remarkable 9,096 trillion Matériel Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 501,774 Matériel Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,680,204 per year while the poor average 4,763, a ratio of 982 to 1.
Fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Anathema Armament's CEO Vincent Anathema's most personal functions, and the homeless more often beg for mercy than money. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Anathema Armaments's national animal is the Shrieking Hellfire Spider, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Matériel Credit Bank of Anathema.
Anathema Armaments is ranked 157,211th in the world and 3,694th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,398.05 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
