The Completely Failed State of Angbhand is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Endymion with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.862 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sylvania. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Angbhandian economy, worth an astonishing 12,790 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 758,567 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, and the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year. 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 169,330th in the world and 4,007th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,012.5 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
