The Grand Duchy of Ansylvania is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 937 million Ansylvanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silvarine. The average income tax rate is 39.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ansylvanian economy, worth 93.0 trillion ansylves a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,291 ansylves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, and immigrants who don't like the taste of Ansylvanian Turnip Chips are immediately deported. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ansylvania's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ansylvania is ranked 26,968^th in the world and 359^th in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 110.27 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
