The Commonwealth of Annamara is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Rusty Shackleford with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 3.927 billion Annamarans are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lawrence. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Annamaran economy, worth 490 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,734 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, and lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Annamara's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Science.

Annamara is ranked 15,997^th in the world and 198^th in Europe for Most Secular, with 71.96 Atheism Rate.
