The Commonwealth of Antarctic Colonies is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Chief Executive Orlean with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.542 billion Antarcticans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vostok. The average income tax rate is 35.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Antarctican economy, worth a remarkable 1,070 trillion Antarctic Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 193,139 Antarctic Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, Antarctic Colonies is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings. Crime is totally unknown. Antarctic Colonies's national animal is the Adélie penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Antarctic Colonies is ranked 108,404^th in the world and 2,340^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
