The Republic of Anthonyland is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.21 billion Anthonylandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Anthonylandian economy, worth 320 trillion Divolleegan Chickens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 61,526 Divolleegan Chickens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, and stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anthonyland's national animal is the Chicken, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Anthonyland is ranked 180,084^th in the world and 2,886^th in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 970.72 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
