The Neo-Colonial Empire of Anglost is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by King William IV with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 7.138 billion Anglostians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunrisedon. The average income tax rate is 26.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Anglostian economy, worth 313 trillion Gelds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,913 Gelds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Anglost to be bombproof, Teas have more rights than the average citizen, scientists pester asteroids with probes until they go away, and pizzerias often get delivery orders for Saturn and alien first-born are considered a delicacy (Anglost has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anglost's national animal is the Tea, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Sunrisism.

Anglost is ranked 224,886^th in the world and 2,851^st in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -94.37 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
