The Incorporated States of Ankoz is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Eris with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, rampant corporate plagiarism, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.841 billion Aztereks love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canterina. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ankozian economy, worth a remarkable 3,689 trillion Zenarias a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 248,621 Zenarias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren have more trading cards than flash cards in their backpacks, foreign leaders with unpaid parking tickets are often refused entry, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, and windows in Canterina don't have much of a view. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ankoz's national animal is the Otter, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ankoz is ranked 339^th in the world and 1^st in Central Scientific Progress Coalition for Safest, scoring 188.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
