The Completely Failed State of Angbhand is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Endymion with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.813 billion Angbhandians 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 relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sylvania. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Angbhandian economy, worth an astonishing 12,688 trillion dollars 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 a breathtaking 754,689 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, diplomats in Angbhand are furious at constant police surveillance, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, and it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away". Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Angbhand's national animal is the worg, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Angbhand is ranked 294,244th in the world and 7,260th in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 0.05 average smiles per day.
