The Republic of Angel 13 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 1.577 billion Angel 13ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Angel 13ian economy, worth 85.5 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,223 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, citizens must have a license to operate a computer, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Angel 13 in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angel 13's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Angel 13 is ranked 124,762^nd in the world and 25^th in Starland for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,935.46 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
