The Order of Ankhion is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Sentinel Belenova with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.003 billion Ankhs 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ankhan City. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ankhian economy, worth a remarkable 2,629 trillion Moncadoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,321 Moncadoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, and politicians demand do-overs when they don't agree with election outcomes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ankhion's national animal is the Komodo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Arkonism.

Ankhion is ranked 289,475^th in the world and 829^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -23.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
