The Dictatorship of Annlosia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Ruler Edward Markham with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.566 billion Annlosians 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anlos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Annlosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,783 trillion Annlosian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 271,551 Annlosian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.
Anti-tourism militias patrol the borders, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Annlosia, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and foreign musicians that Supreme Ruler Edward Markham dislikes are turned away at the border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Annlosia's national animal is the Vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Markhamism.
Annlosia is ranked 4,317th in the world and 89th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 7,400.12 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
