The Republic of Anga Therp is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.909 billion Anga Therpians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Random City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The very strong Anga Therpian economy, worth 240 trillion pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 61,649 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 181,688 per year while the poor average 16,460, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, and public urination is on the increase. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Anga Therp's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Anga Therp is ranked 232,258th in the world and 1st in A Random Region for Most Patriotic, with 5.85 flags saluted per person per day.
