The Grand Duchess of Lady Anastasia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Duchess Anastasia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 20.495 billion Imperial Dalimbaris are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Andreisburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.2%.

The powerhouse Imperial Dalimbari economy, worth a remarkable 1,435 trillion blood diamonds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 70,049 blood diamonds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 426,806 per year while the poor average 5,088, a ratio of 83.9 to 1.

The Farmer's Almanac is the most popular college textbook, prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, and shell-shocked refugees are made to provide Immigration with lively renditions of 'Dancing Queen'. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Lady Anastasia's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Dalism.

Lady Anastasia is ranked 255,055^th in the world and 247^th in Empire of Love for Nicest Citizens, with 1 average smiles per day.
