The Hive-Mind Technate of Anverija is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Collective Sentience-0001 with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.737 billion Units are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Administrative Zone-0001. The average income tax rate is 74.3%.

The large but inefficient Anverijan economy, worth 425 trillion Digital Credits 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. 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 48,643 Digital Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens know not to ask what their country can do for them but what they can do as chained slaves for their country, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Anverija after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security", and disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anverija's national animal is the Unit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anti-Theism.

Anverija is ranked 70,255^th in the world and 99^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,558.75 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
