The Kingdom of Anskar is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 14.218 billion Anskarians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Anskarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,393 trillion penningrs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 238,651 penningrs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,059,675 per year while the poor average 33,508, a ratio of 31.6 to 1.
Graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, and trick-or-treaters and circus clowns have been arrested under suspicion of being renegade vigilantes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anskar's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Anskar is ranked 9,738th in the world and 67th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 2,386.42501435368 days.
