The Republic of Anathu is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Warden with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, soft-spoken computers, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.499 billion Anathuni are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hummingburg. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Anathuan economy, worth 223 trillion pies 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is 89,441 pies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', and multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anathu's national animal is the giant hummingbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is not withstanding.

Anathu is ranked 157,888^th in the world and 1,997^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 304.03 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
