The State of Ancetres is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29.439 billion Ancetresians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.0%.

The very strong Ancetresian economy, worth a remarkable 1,129 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 38,358 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Ancetres has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate. Ancetres's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ancetres is ranked 218,815^th in the world and 7^th in Tuvalu for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 27.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
