The Republic of Angel 11 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, public floggings, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 1.396 billion Angel 11ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 10.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Angel 11ian economy, worth 45.3 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 32,469 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Angel 11 in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Angel 11's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Angel 11 is ranked 258,108^th in the world and 49^th in Starland for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 781.48 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
