The Democratic Republic of Aneto is a titanic, genial nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 20.951 billion Anetoans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Anetoan economy, worth 387 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 18,479 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are raised bilingual from an early age, the government is forced to pander to the will of every fruitcake politician, the country has essentially become 20951 million nations within a nation, and nude art is becoming wildly popular. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aneto's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aneto is ranked 308,430^th in the world and 1^st in Natives for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.85 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
