The Republic of Anglish is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and feral children. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.845 billion Anglishians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Anglishian economy, worth a remarkable 1,523 trillion 9003s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,274 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year, the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, and soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anglish's national animal is the 9003, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Anglish is ranked 230,724th in the world and 8,292nd in Lazarus for Most Armed, with 0.22 weapons per person.
