The Rogue Nation of Angandst is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, flagrant waste-dumping, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 424 million Angandstians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Angandstian economy, worth 52.6 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 123,946 bitcoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 748,543 per year while the poor average 9,203, a ratio of 81.3 to 1.

The nation's new flagship trading company deals exclusively in things no one wants, the government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad, crooks and people with too many kids are being kicked out of the country, and blind dates tend to result in bruised shins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angandst's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Angandst is ranked 75,226th in the world and 115th in Concord for Largest Governments, scoring 18.89 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
