The Republic of Angel 1 is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, avant-garde cinema, and prohibition of alcohol. The devout population of 2.596 billion Angel 1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.6%.

The very strong Angel 1ian economy, worth 160 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,981 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 177,456 per year while the poor average 17,234, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

The media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash", war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, hordes of faceless civil servants are running cities, and unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angel 1's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Angel 1 is ranked 68,853^rd in the world and 5^th in Starland for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,142.01 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
