The Kingdom of Angialia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Aegilian XI with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.889 billion Angialians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karstompf. The average income tax rate is 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Angialian economy, worth 865 trillion Angials 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. 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 impressive 109,695 Angials, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from King Aegilian XI's throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angialia's national animal is the White Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protolic.

Angialia is ranked 140,004th in the world and 2,762nd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 208.12026958072 days.
