The Completely Failed State of Angbhand is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Endymion with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.206 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, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. 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 16,908 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 836,814 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish, frustrated women are overjoyed at the provision of communal washing machines, and police shut down children's lemonade stands for being "unsavory street food". 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 16^th in the world and 1^st in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Poor Incomes, with 752,161.92 Standard Monetary Units.
