The 4th Republican Government of The Antarian Commonwealth is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Presidential Council with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.867 billion Antarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nanshang. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Antarian economy, worth 809 trillion Antarian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 166,405 Antarian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, populations of two-headed Pallas Cats have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, international tensions are high as The Antarian Commonwealth threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, and a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Antarian Commonwealth's national animal is the Pallas Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Marxist Existentialism.

The Antarian Commonwealth is ranked 288,983^rd in the world and 1,264^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,161.7 Standard Monetary Units.
