The Republic of Anneriana is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 16 million Annerianans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 19.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Annerianan economy, worth 599 billion Star-meralds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,456 Star-meralds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Annerianans, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", and finders keepers is the law of the land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Anneriana's national animal is the Leaf Swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Anneriana is ranked 233,154^th in the world and 2,564^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,227.68 Standard Monetary Units.
