The Cannibal Cult of Angry Old Priests is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 26.995 billion Cannibal Clergy enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Church of Our Lunch. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Cannibalistic economy, worth 605 trillion Floor Polishes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism. 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 22,434 Floor Polishes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, elections have recently been reintroduced to Angry Old Priests, and pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angry Old Priests's national animal is the Deathwatch Beetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Angry Old Priests is ranked 30,727th in the world and 1st in Federation of God for Nicest Citizens, with 19.85 average smiles per day.
