“Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité”

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

The Federal Union of Antrantica is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Élodie Bain with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.955 billion Antranticans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lutetia. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Antrantican economy, worth 427 trillion Francs 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 144,708 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The ABI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', and the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antrantica's national animal is the Song Sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Antrantica is ranked 282,382^nd in the world and 1,346^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -12.98 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
