The Principality of Angermanland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prince Chargone with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 39.16 billion Angermen are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kant. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Angerman economy, worth a remarkable 5,874 trillion gold crosses a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,017 gold crosses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, massive new slaughterhouses are being hailed as a sign of progress, and every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angermanland's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Way of the Net.

Angermanland is ranked 269,192^nd in the world and 9,643^rd in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 0.6 average smiles per day.
