The Imperial State of Angvar is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Empress Katharina II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, disturbing lack of elderly people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.379 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, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. 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 4,041 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 430,857 Angvarian pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody ever seems to enter or leave the armour-plated flying castle that serves as the seat of government, the government is telling wizards to put their heart into their work, a government program is underway to revitalize Angvar's beaches, and the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon. 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 34,279^th in the world and 72^nd in The League for Most Developed, scoring 81.55 on the Human Development Index.
