The Former Colonial Empire of Anglost is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King William IV with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.005 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunrisedon. The average income tax rate is 25.9%.

The Anglostian economy, worth 138 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 45,976 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government claims that King William IV's political enemies literally take candy from babies, the government operates on a policy of compliance through intimidation, the nation is regarded as a paragon of democracy, and wheelchair users complain it is nearly impossible for them to cross the road in Sunrisedon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 136,441^st in the world and 2,434^th in The East Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 13.13 flags saluted per person per day.
