The Insane Demonness of Angl0 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The Woods with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed population of 10.83 billion The regiments are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Unbroken. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Angl0ian economy, worth 938 trillion Silver of the highs 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 86,651 Silver of the highs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angl0's national animal is the Mighty Oak, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Forest.

Angl0 is ranked 38,293rd in the world and 4th in England for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 24,326.28 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
