The Empire of Antarent is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Heleno de Antarent with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.453 billion Antarents are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miidaríva. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Antarentian economy, worth 330 trillion Antarent Roots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,601 Antarent Roots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, builders across Antarent are blocked up with orders for new public loos, tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury, and international organisations everywhere are united in their condemnation of the nation's zombified military (Antarent has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antarent's national animal is the Horned Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cardinalism.

Antarent is ranked 19,554^th in the world and 41^st in Aesica for Smartest Citizens, with 68.96 quips per hour.
