The Celestial Realm of Goddess Relief Office is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Belldandy-sama with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 14.573 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business government concentrates mainly on Commerce, although Education and Public Transport are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nekomi City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism industries.

Meat-eating is frowned upon, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, and the nation's WA representatives have received a very public sacking after Goddess Relief Office allowed its WA membership to lapse. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Goddess Relief Office's national animal is the keiichi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Love, and its currency is the hugs.

Goddess Relief Office is ranked 11th in Yggdrasil and 3,891st in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 9 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
