The Hive World of Anfair is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Planetary Governor Alexio Acilius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 7.311 billion Anfairians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sector Administratum. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Anfairian economy, worth a remarkable 1,754 trillion Aquila Pieces a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 240,014 Aquila Pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Disputed territories across The East Pacific are being claimed by Anfairian college students, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and celebrity foodies are biting a huge chunk out of the government budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anfair's national animal is the Two-headed Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Faith.

Anfair is ranked 9,611^th in the world and 256^th in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 163.59 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
