The Velocracy of The Anaerobic Republic is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Godot with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.589 billion Anaerobic Republicians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Voigtgrad. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Anaerobic Republician economy, worth a remarkable 4,696 trillion Lucres a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 239,748 Lucres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, gun-wielding gangsters sometimes deal death from as far as ten paces away, politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, and citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint. Crime is well under control. The Anaerobic Republic's national animal is the Wombat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Anaerobic Republic is ranked 285,851^st in the world and 397^th in United Kingdom for Most Patriotic, with 0.29 flags saluted per person per day.
