The Imperial State of the Crown of Angvar is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Katharina III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.178 billion Angvarians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mordegard. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Angvarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,912 trillion Angvarian couronnes 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 an amazing 369,372 Angvarian couronnes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Angvar, genetic screening weeds out citizens whose legs don't bend easily at the knee, women mime their gynaecological symptoms with hand-puppets, and most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angvar's national animal is the common raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Miraculism.

Angvar is ranked 46,877th in the world and 122nd in The League for Most Influential, scoring 1,372 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
