The United Socialist States of Northern Angermag is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Socialist Man Themself In The Flesh with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.187 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 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 97.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Northern Angermagian economy, worth 976 trillion fifth-pre-1984-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 135,801 fifth-pre-1984-quarter-half-cents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Northern Angermag recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, maps of the enemy's positions are often covered in blood, the government is spending more on exports to Brasilistan than it's receiving from tariffs on the imports, and diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout. 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 13,452nd in the world and 4th in The Apolean Frontiers for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 349.91 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
