The United Republic of AngusEssa is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gerolan IV with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.704 billion AngusEssans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nottawasaga. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient AngusEssan economy, worth a remarkable 1,188 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 122,512 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political hopefuls must announce their intentions decades in advance to accommodate extensive background checks, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, hospitals in AngusEssa are too busy serving the needs of The East Pacific to see AngusEssans, and arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AngusEssa's national animal is the Beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

AngusEssa is ranked 305,128^th in the world and 4,959^th in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -361.05 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
