The Principality of Antio Par is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Crisco Salvador IV with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, humorless population of 1.088 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vita Centurion. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Antio Parian economy, worth 104 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 95,731 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power, the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, and the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories'. 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 135,187^th in the world and 6,859^th in Lazarus for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
