The Empire of Ansoku is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lotus with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.406 billion Ansoks are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tenno City. The average income tax rate is 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ansokuan economy, worth 275 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 195,987 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Police pull people off the street for even mentioning the word plane, Ansokuan tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Tenno City as a backdrop, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ansoku's national animal is the Kavat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Wizardology.

Ansoku is ranked 153,821^st in the world and 143^rd in Lands End for Most Income Equality, scoring 26.62 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
