The Matriarchy of Anne Hathaway is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Anne Hathaway with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, parental licensing program, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 10.447 billion Hathawayans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hathwood. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.4%.

The powerhouse Hathawayan economy, worth a remarkable 1,313 trillion Stellars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,694 Stellars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 361,936 per year while the poor average 34,672, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

The nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, metal detectors at school gates make sure that teenagers are carrying at least one sidearm, and road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anne Hathaway's national animal is the Stallion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Anne Hathaway is ranked 41,272^nd in the world and 4^th in Goddessica for Most Corrupt Governments, with 51.96 kickbacks per hour.
