The Imperial State of Angvar is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Katharina II with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.242 billion Angvarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mordegard. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Angvarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,966 trillion Angvarian pounds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 an amazing 429,227 Angvarian pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers, the new Really Big Telescope has been praised for presenting pictures of bright dots in unprecedented detail, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, and the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angvar's national animal is the carrion crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Miraculism.

Angvar is ranked 189,997^th in the world and 177^th in The League for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 107.5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
