The Republic of Anegard is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12 million Anegardians 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 government prioritizes Law & Order, with Administration, Defense, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The very strong Anegardian economy, worth 781 billion Virtual coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 65,145 Virtual coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 188,669 per year while the poor average 17,825, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

The nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, basket-weaving is the nation's latest fad, the official Anegardian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers. Crime is moderate. Anegard's national animal is the Pegas, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Anegard is ranked 85,065^th in the world and 1,993^rd in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 89.38 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
