Anarres
Anarres is one of the Cetian twin worlds - the other is Urras. Although they orbit the same star, the two worlds are wildly different.While Urras is a totalitarian state, the state of Anarres can be best described as anarchy. However, it is an anarchy that almost works, which has little to do with wearing leather jackets and spraying capital @'s on the walls. The Anarresti share almost everything, and has almost no possessions. There is no money on Anarres. | ||||

Anarres
Anarres is one of two planets of Tau Ceti, in the 'Ekumen' science fiction novels of Ursula K. Le Guin. It is a double planet settled from Urras, the original world of the Cetians.
The story of Anarres and its settlement by Odonians is told in The Dispossessed. Cetians appear or are mentioned in various other tales, mostly without specifying which world they come from. But in The Shobies Story, the Cetian Gveter is an Anarresti. 'Churten theory' was developed on his world, which evidently keeps its Odonian views on cooperation and objects to 'propetarian habits'.
