The Democratic Republic of Angtryal is a very large, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning zebra population. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 222 million Angtryalians 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 Administration, Welfare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 32.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Angtryalian economy, worth 10.5 trillion vius a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,088 vius, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, Air Angtryal is rumored to receive more government funding than the Angtryalian Air Force, illicit spice trade makes desert merchants wrangling worms blush, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angtryal's national animal is the zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Angtryal is ranked 241,235^th in the world and 470^th in Starlight for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 33.91 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
