The United States enclave of Antarus Redaction is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Todd Howard with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.302 billion grand wizard men are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Environment receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hecklar federal district. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Antari economy, worth a remarkable 1,635 trillion Antari credits a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 308,388 Antari credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,197,167 per year while the poor average 54,381, a ratio of 22.0 to 1.

The military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", decongestants have replaced Antari credits in street transactions, investigative reports into the government's latest violation of civilian rights are stored in the fiction aisle, and the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antarus Redaction's national animal is the Imperial Bald datburg eagle patriot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Antarus Redaction is ranked 8,392^nd in the world and 7^th in Fifth Empire for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 10,267.35 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
