The Free Land of Premium-Ancapistan is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 518 million Premium-Ancapistanians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 7.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Premium-Ancapistanian economy, worth 43.0 trillion Premium golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 82,998 Premium golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, pro-wrestling bouts open with a legal disclaimer insisting that any violence is guaranteed 100% faked, all new "spies" are fifteen-year-old acne-ridden kids on computers, and councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Premium-Ancapistan's national animal is the The dollar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Premium-Ancapistan is ranked 11,073^rd in the world and 329^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 77,188.54 Standard Monetary Units.
