Anga (Aj-ng-ə; Angish: Ȧngȧ), officially the Semi-Parliamentary Republic of Anga, is an island nation located in the Atlantic Ocean in Europe. The country has no land borders; it borders the Bay of Biscay to the east, and the North Atlantic Ocean to the west, south, and north, where the Angish Channel separates Anga from Ireland, Anga's closest neighbor. Anga has a population of around 65.8 million as of 2020, and its capital and largest city is Duches. Other major cities include Kofmington, Major, Presah, and Northmington. The official language of Anga is Angish, which is related to French and English.

Anga was first inhabited by Norse settlers around 750 CE, and French settlers came in soon after. After decades of conflict, Kerej Anges united the two groups and became the first King of Anga. Anga was invaded twice by Britain, winning both times, and in 1629, Anga's last king, Julver Dalgary, formed the Angish Republic. Anga was ravaged by the Angish Civil War from 1857-1863, but recovered soon after under the leadership of Nekan Selun. Anga fought Britain once again from 1905-1906 in the Second Anglo-Angish War. This time they lost and were forced to give up many of their colonial possessions. Anga remained neutral in World War I, but joined the allies in World War II after repelling a German invasion.

Anga has one of the strongest economies in the world. It is ranked eighth in the world in nominal GDP, with a GDP of 2.495 trillion United States Dollars. It is also ranked twenty-ninth in the world in GDP per capita, at 37,933 US Dollars. Anga's economy is primarily based on trade, but Anga has strong service, education, and agriculture sectors. Anga also boasts very high civil liberties and economic, social, and political freedoms. Although not part of the European Union, Anga is part of the European Economic Area, and is closely linked to its European neighbors through trade and diplomatic relations.

Etymology
The word "Anga" comes from "Anges," (pronounced AN-gees) meaning "sons of peace." When Kerej Tefer unified the Kingdom of Anga, he was given the title "Anges." It also became the name of the new generation of people under a unified Angish state.

First Settlers
Anga was first settled around 800 BCE by various tribes, including Irish Pagans, and Gauls escaping Roman rule. Very few settlers actually remained in Anga because the places they settled -- primarily the flatlands of the south and the mountains of the north -- were rocky and infertile. Around 740 CE, the first true settlement of Anga occurred. Norsemen from England, Norway, and Wales sent expeditions to Anga, and many stayed and settled Anga's east coast. In 804 CE, Charlemagne sent an expedition from Bordeaux to explore Anga. In 806, building off the success of the first expedition, another expedition was sent from Brittany. This time, the purpose of the expedition was merely to settle Anga, instead of to explore. By the time of Charlemagne's death in 814, the Franks had founded many settlements in southern Anga. In 818, Frankish noble Jean-Paul Grec established the city of Grec (present day Grechton), which became the capital of Frankish Anga. Other settlers came from Ireland, Denmark, and Iceland.

Franco-Norse Conflicts
It is generally understood that the Franco-Norse Conflicts started as a result of land disputes somewhere in the present-day Angish state of Sheed. The first conflict started in 859 and lasted until 861. It was followed by the much more substantial Franco-Norse War from 865-899. The war ended with the Second Battle of Darjej, in which Norse leader Efruh defeated Frankish leader Marc Lefois. More conflicts followed, including the Third Battle of Darjej, which resulted in a Frankish victory.

Angish Unification
Through the chaotic Franco-Norse Conflicts emerged a persuasive leader named Kerej Tefer. Tefer was born around 880 CE in Frankish Anga; he had known war his entire life. As a teenager, Tefer was captured in a Norse raid, and he became a part of the Norse society. After fighting for the Norse in the Franco-Norse War, Tefer began speaking out against the conflicts. With both sides tired of war, Tefer was able to gain a lot of support from both sides. Both the Franks and Norse saw Tefer as one of their own. In 919, Kerej Tefer issued the Proclamation of Unity, which negotiated peace between the Franks and Norse. Then, in 920, drafted the constitution of the Kingdom of Anga, and began his reign as the first King of Anga.

Prime Minister
The Angish executive branch is headed by the Prime Minister of Anga. Candidates for Prime Minister are nominated by their party. Elections generally occur in two phases: the general (or primary) election, and the runoff between the top two candidates. Elections occur in October, and PMs are sworn in on January first. The current Angish Prime Minister is Datch Harar, who has been in office for five terms, since 2004. Other notable PMs are Maram Jeres, the first female PM, Perlan Captal, PM during World War II, Nekan Selun, PM during the Angish Civil War, and the first PM, Korslan Presah.
