The Armed Republic of Aengloland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Aenglish Workers' Gemot with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.393 billion Aenglish are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Winchester. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Aenglish economy, worth a remarkable 2,482 trillion Silver Pennies a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 134,953 Silver Pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, and it's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aengloland's national animal is the Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Aengloland is ranked 1,679^th in the world and 16^th in Forest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 151.3 law-abiding acts per hour.
