The People's Commonwealth of Ankuran is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Maxime de Vos with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.191 billion Ankurani 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angora. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ankuran economy, worth a remarkable 6,091 trillion buillons 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 274,483 buillons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Ankuran Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, old cars must undergo mandatory sensitivity training, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ankuran's national animal is the jackbooted cottontail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ankuran is ranked 320,855^th in the world and 95^th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -15.26 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
