The State of Anglin is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 24.687 billion Anglinians 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 minute, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The thriving Anglinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,039 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 42,125 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and Anglin has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Anglin's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Anglin is ranked 261,496^th in the world and 1^st in Anjou for Lowest Crime Rates, with 44.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
