The Armed Republic of Bright Angel is a gargantuan, devout nation, ruled by Johann der Becker with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 17.468 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flagstaff. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Guns are banned, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, school uniforms are compulsory, and environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Bright Angel's national animal is the red bearded woodchuck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Veni vidi vici, and its currency is the zuchs.

Bright Angel is ranked 1st in Macfora Forever and 64th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 73 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
