The Imperial State of Angvar is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Empress Katharina II with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.267 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 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 3,980 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 429,563 Angvarian pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Angvar as a reminder of their "special relationship", drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", and prospective secessionists nervously declare how worthless and unimportant they are. 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 941st in the world and 1st in The League for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 16,060.17 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
