The Fraternal republic of Anquitaine is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Phillip Moun Catpeé with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, enforced nudity, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.665 billion Anquitanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lanceon. The average income tax rate is 16.5%.

The powerhouse Anquitanian economy, worth 344 trillion Anquitanian marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 73,755 Anquitanian marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

What citizens give with one hand they take away with the other, the Anquitaine Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them, and a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anquitaine's national animal is the Anquitanian lynx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholic legion.

Anquitaine is ranked 94,512^th in the world and 52^nd in Flanelistan for Most Developed, scoring 63.11 on the Human Development Index.
