The Neo-Colonial Empire of Anglost is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by King William IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 6.827 billion Anglostians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunrisedon. The average income tax rate is 25.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Anglostian economy, worth 303 trillion Chits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,426 Chits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Tea, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and tourists outnumber citizens two to one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anglost's national animal is the Tea, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sunrisism.

Anglost is ranked 126,525^th in the world and 1,606^th in The East Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 25,933.78 Standard Monetary Units.
