The Principality of Angermanland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prince Chargone with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 39.313 billion Angermen are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kant. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Angerman economy, worth a remarkable 5,931 trillion gold crosses a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,880 gold crosses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Astronauts take one small step for Angermanland and one giant step backward from confrontation, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", constipated disaster survivors are rapidly learning that MRE is short for "Meal Requiring Enemas", and couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angermanland's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Way of the Net.

Angermanland is ranked 9,470^th in the world and 500^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 418.97 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
