The Matriarchy of Anequina-Pellitine is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Khamira with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 9.617 billion Khajiit enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rimmen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Khajiit economy, worth a remarkable 2,491 trillion golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 259,029 golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 745,871 per year while the poor average 71,451, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people, the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', the government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, and health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Anequina-Pellitine's national animal is the Senche Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Riddle'Thar.

Anequina-Pellitine is ranked 22,305th in the world and 77th in Forest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
