The Hive World of Anfair

“Only in death does duty end.”

The Hive World of Anfair is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Planetary Governor Alexio Acilius with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 7.207 billion Anfairians 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sector Administratum. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Anfairian economy, worth a remarkable 1,726 trillion Aquila Pieces a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 239,494 Aquila Pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Toddler groups have taken over local libraries, what happens in court stays in court, penny whistles have been rebranded 'tin hornpipes', and foreigners are treated with great suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anfair's national animal is the Two-headed Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Faith.

Anfair is ranked 3,181^st in the world and 74^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 128.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
