The Completely Failed State of Angbhand is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Endymion with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory vegetarianism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.292 billion Angbhandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sylvania. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Angbhandian economy, worth an astonishing 16,982 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 836,899 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens rise at daybreak every day for mandatory exercise, you can say what you like about the genocidal murderers that rule Angbhand but at least the trains run on time, many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, and getting an autograph has become harder than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Angbhand's national animal is the worg, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Angbhand is ranked 10,690th in the world and 46th in the Plains of Perdition for Longest Average Lifespans, with 91.51 years.
