“United, we rise. Divided, we fall.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Colony of Antipolica is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 45 million Antipolicans 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The imploded Antipolican economy, worth 293 billion Anticoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 6,519 Anticoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, the art of conversation has been rediscovered, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, and orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antipolica's national animal is the Antidove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Antipolica is ranked 285,395^th in the world and 5,309^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.45 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
