The Principality of Antio Par is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Crisco Salvador IV with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, humorless population of 1.107 billion Antio Parians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vita Centurion. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Antio Parian economy, worth 106 trillion lire 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 major contributions from Tourism and Basket Weaving. Average income is 95,990 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, Antio Parian scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, and visiting the best Antio Parian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antio Par's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Court of Crows.

Antio Par is ranked 267,996^th in the world and 9,651^st in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -229.07 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
