Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic States of Anglabeos is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.592 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elmford. The average income tax rate is 57%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

All artwork is carefully screened for offensive material, the ABI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anglabeos's national animal is the Liger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Lingo.

Anglabeos is ranked 2,110th in The North Pacific and 46,699th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
