The Community of Ancapitisia

“Land of the Truly Free”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Community of Ancapitisia is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 553 million Ancapitisians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ancapitisian economy, worth 69.9 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 126,351 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,136,146 per year while the poor average 1,760, a ratio of 645 to 1.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, babies are increasingly seen as a luxury, literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, and for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ancapitisia's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ancapitisia is ranked 311,341^st in the world and 774^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Patriotic, with 0.49 flags saluted per person per day.
