The Holy Empire of Ang Yod is a very large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning cobra population. The hard-working population of 247 million Ang Yodians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 12.3%.

The Ang Yodian economy, worth 12.7 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 51,361 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ang Yod's national animal is the cobra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ang Yod is ranked 204,853^rd in the world and 10,817^th in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
