The Republic of Anona is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.628 billion Anonans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Anonan economy, worth 497 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,063 baht, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 442,261 per year while the poor average 32,125, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.
You can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, and citizens are constantly disappointed to find their nuisance neighbours are still alive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anona's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Anona is ranked 17,966th in the world and 3rd in Cainitium for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
