The Completely Failed State of Angbhand is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Endymion with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.177 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 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 16,884 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 836,831 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, the nation has cemented its own architectural style, helium balloons lift the nation's spacecraft towards the heavens, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. 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 55th in the world and 1st in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Average Incomes, with 836,831.58 Standard Monetary Units.
