The United Socialist States of Northern Angermag is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Socialist Man Themself In The Flesh with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.271 billion Northern Angermagians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North-North-North Northern Angermag. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Angermagian economy, worth 574 trillion fifth-pre-1984-third-quarter-half-cents a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 134,520 fifth-pre-1984-third-quarter-half-cents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, libraries are refusing to stock A Midsummer Night's Dream because it has an ass in it, nine out of ten citizens of Northern Angermag answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, and liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Angermag's national animal is the Socialist Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Not Really Religion Per Se But Socialism.

Northern Angermag is ranked 248,988^th in the world and 23^rd in Union of Democrats for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
