The Empire of The Anglerfish is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 4.405 billion Anglerfishians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Anglerfishian economy, worth 159 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,302 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, and the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Anglerfish's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Anglerfish is ranked 117,473^rd in the world and 2^nd in Alhambra for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,225.85 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
