The Federal Republic of Aneth is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 336 million Anethians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aneth City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.9%.

The powerhouse Anethian economy, worth 29.5 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 87,898 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 283,620 per year while the poor average 20,601, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.

People talk about things being better when men were men, several inches are being added to first class seating, group hugs break out during floor votes, and internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aneth's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Aneth is ranked 201,044^th in the world and 4,482^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
