The Alliterating Apparatsjik of Antipov is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.937 billion Antipovians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bruxellov. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Antipovian economy, worth a remarkable 4,947 trillion BEFS a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,268 BEFS, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 656,820 per year while the poor average 28,047, a ratio of 23.4 to 1.
A fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, the Antipovian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading Antipovian justice, and expats return home to a government devoid of social and environmental agencies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antipov's national animal is the Belgian Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Antipov is ranked 234,216th in the world and 7,298th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 23.21826986252 days.
