The Republic of Antiguan is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.848 billion Antiguanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Antiguanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,362 trillion florins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 153,988 florins, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.
Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, major cities run on potato batteries, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", and endangered species are effective hostages against the Antiguanian military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antiguan's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Antiguan is ranked 173,204th in the world and 6,600th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 13.72 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
