The Rogue Nation of Ancron is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its suspicion of poets, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 203 million Ancrons 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ancronian economy, worth 14.1 trillion Ancrests a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 69,609 Ancrests, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bris parties are all the rage, criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and most barbers are also surgeons. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ancron's national animal is the Andean Condor, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ancron is ranked 124,554^th in the world and 74^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,383.01 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
