The Republic of Angiskyrtopia is a huge, genial nation, notable for its public floggings and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical population of 485 million Angiskyrtopians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 42.8%.

The Angiskyrtopian economy, worth 24.5 trillion idks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,554 idks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, political dissidents are cut off from essential services, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and eight-year-olds with lemonade stands have been known to be locked up on charges of embezzlement. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angiskyrtopia's national animal is the Human.

Angiskyrtopia is ranked 254,880^th in the world and 4,668^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -4.47 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
