The Coordinator of Consolidation of Lady Anastasia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Duchess Anastasia with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.71 billion Imperial Dalimbaris are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Andreisburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.3%.

The all-consuming Imperial Dalimbari economy, worth a remarkable 1,740 trillion blood diamonds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 80,170 blood diamonds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 563,383 per year while the poor average 3,882, a ratio of 145 to 1.

The poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, the disabled are forced to undergo an MRI scan every time they pick up their benefit payments, and groups of three or more trees are cut down in the name of 'child safety'. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lady Anastasia's national animal is the eagle and its national religion is Dalism.

Lady Anastasia is ranked 128,989^th in the world and 294^th in the Outback for Most Authoritarian, with 806.93 milliStalins.
