The SmallBall Nation of Anti-Goatsack is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Billy with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 45.002 billion Anti-Goatsackians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keely. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Anti-Goatsackian economy, worth an astonishing 14,793 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 328,721 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, only the richest get to see out of their windows, equality looks curiously unequal, and the atmosphere in Anti-Goatsackian boardrooms is turning more gay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Anti-Goatsack's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Anti-Goatsack is ranked 54,384th in the world and 2,918th in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 34.7 kickbacks per hour.
