“For Emperor and Imperium”

The Holy Imperium of Angenteria is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Emperor Forrix Riektal with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.658 billion are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angenteria City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Speaking out against the government is punishable by flogging, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and military spending is on the increase. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angenteria's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is the Imperial Faith, and its currency is the Imperial Credit.

Angenteria is ranked 26th in the region and 52,735th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
