The Creaking Casino Floors of Anathema Armaments is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Anathema Armament's CEO Vincent Anathema with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, enslaved workforce, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 18.165 billion Anathemagicians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Defense is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Matériel Credit Forge District. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Anathemagician economy, worth a remarkable 9,128 trillion Matériel Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 502,552 Matériel Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,687,454 per year while the poor average 4,771, a ratio of 982 to 1.

Saying "don't do anything that Anathema Armament's CEO Vincent Anathema wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, recognised healthcare professionals treat diabetes with a grain of sugar in a barrel of water, people are turning themselves into worm food, and Matériel Credit Forge District has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Anathema Armaments's national animal is the Shrieking Hellfire Spider, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Matériel Credit Bank of Anathema.

Anathema Armaments is ranked 649th in the world and 22nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Corrupt Governments, with 576.19 kickbacks per hour.
