The Democratic Republic of East Anteltal is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.802 billion East Anteltalians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anteltal City. The average income tax rate is 81.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming East Anteltalian economy, worth 428 trillion euros 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 89,172 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Anteltal's national animal is the Highland cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Anteltal is ranked 275,998^th in the world and 4,481^st in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -176.2 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
