The Flower Girl of Ananke II is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Queen of Thorns with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 40.981 billion Anankeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Social Policy, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casterly Rock. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Anankean economy, worth a remarkable 6,207 trillion kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,483 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, preservative-laden Anankean cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime is totally unknown. Ananke II's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ananke II is ranked 330,746^th in the world and 677^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -25.77 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
