The Theocracy of Anggun is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 97 million Anggunians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.3%.

The sizeable but inefficient Anggunian economy, worth 5.59 trillion Holy Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 57,645 Holy Coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 222,595 per year while the poor average 10,252, a ratio of 21.7 to 1.

Military spending is on the increase, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, Anggun's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anggun's national animal is the Sparrow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Anggun is ranked 75,882nd in the world and 177th in Nordic Lands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 102.71 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
