The Republic of Anoushirvan is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.866 billion Anoushirvanians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.2%.

The very strong Anoushirvanian economy, worth 350 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 51,097 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 147,985 per year while the poor average 13,982, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Anoushirvan City Times is sold out, a major religion has been named as Anoushirvan's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Anoushirvan in an international press conference, and Anoushirvan has designated Anoushirvan City as its capital city. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Anoushirvan's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Anoushirvan is ranked 241,108^th in the world and 7^th in The Land of Bird and Honey for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
