The Kingdom of Ancheay is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12 million Ancheayians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 44.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ancheayian economy, worth 454 billion ancs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,870 ancs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

War criminals are given full state funerals, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ancheay's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Ancheay is ranked 93,040^th in the world and 766^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Corrupt Governments, with 18.23 kickbacks per hour.
