The Republic of Anglo Appalachian is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rogue with an even hand, and remarkable for its closed borders, parental licensing program, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 3.895 billion Anglo Appalachianians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Appalachia. The average income tax rate is 34.1%.
The powerhouse Anglo Appalachianian economy, worth 371 trillion Silver Penningars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,296 Silver Penningars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, masterpieces by male artists are on display in the dumpsters behind the gallery, murder victims' families receive windfall payouts when the murderers are executed, and politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anglo Appalachian's national animal is the Mountain Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Heathen.
Anglo Appalachian is ranked 46,492nd in the world and 2nd in The Appalachian Order for Most Corrupt Governments, with 44.29 kickbacks per hour.
