The Kingdom of Angion is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Edmund III Eynon with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 7.916 billion Angionians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The enormous, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Idostead. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Angionian economy, worth 901 trillion Arints a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 113,920 Arints, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', and bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms. Crime is totally unknown. Angion's national animal is the stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Iestynism.

Angion is ranked 18,789^th in the world and 288^th in Europe for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 99.09 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
