The Democratic Republic of East Anteltal is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.539 billion East Anteltalians 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anteltal City. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse East Anteltalian economy, worth 321 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 90,907 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, the freedom to be free is always just out of reach, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Anteltal City for fear of causing a fuss, and citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Anteltal's national animal is the Highland cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Anteltal is ranked 282,736^th in the world and 5,060^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.63 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
