The Federal Republic of Aneth is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, daily referendums, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 428 million Anethians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aneth City. The average income tax rate is 20.4%.

The all-consuming Anethian economy, worth 38.9 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 90,916 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Nose plugs are the latest Anethian fashion accessory, the travel industry is booming as pregnant women book tickets for "weekend trips" overseas, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, and citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aneth's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Aneth is ranked 211,781^st in the world and 4,862^nd in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
