The Catatonic Delegates of Antede III is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Selora Quintor with an even hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.755 billion Antedians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antede Prime. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.3%.

The powerhouse Antedian economy, worth 390 trillion Ultritiums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 82,083 Ultritiums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 280,173 per year while the poor average 17,696, a ratio of 15.8 to 1.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, the only thing that can pin down a "superhero" is red tape, and mournful opera fans place bouquets of roses at a 3000 capacity parking lot. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Antede III's national animal is the Vermicula, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Antede III is ranked 116,259^th in the world and 62^nd in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 78.74 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
