The Grand Duchy of Ansary is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 514 million ansarians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 18.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong ansarian economy, worth 25.0 trillion Ansarian Crowns a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,676 Ansarian Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and the government's economic policy is "sort it yourself". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ansary's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ansary is ranked 113,104^th in the world and 225^th in Christians for Highest Poor Incomes, with 28,172.38 Standard Monetary Units.
