The Zombie Empire of Antaristia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Imperator with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 3.575 billion Antaristians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antares. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Antaristian economy, worth 717 trillion Antaristian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 200,511 Antaristian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, it's not uncommon to see royalty hitchhiking to the nearest party, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, and children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antaristia's national animal is the Chimaera, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholic Christianity.

Antaristia is ranked 312,098^th in the world and 7^th in Uralskavia for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -34 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
