The Confederacy of Antiedum is a very large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 217 million Antiedumians 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, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.0%.

The very strong Antiedumian economy, worth 15.7 trillion Ants a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is 72,191 Ants, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, bridge salesmen line up for blocks to make their cases at Leader's office, the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antiedum's national animal is the Ant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Antiedum is ranked 98,403^rd in the world and 63^rd in Declansburg for Highest Average Incomes, with 72,191.63 Standard Monetary Units.
