The Angelus Revolution of Klaus Devestatorie is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Avakael with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.302 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Commerce and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperialia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 94%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining industries.

Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, a chain of pubs that cater solely to children has recently been unveiled, and insomnia is slowly turning everyone insane. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Klaus Devestatorie's national animal is the White Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Hope, and its currency is the Halicarnassus.

Klaus Devestatorie is ranked 5th in The Illustrious Fleet and 33,516th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 24 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
