The Ithrak Domain of Angelarium is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Heulyn Ithrak with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 10.995 billion Amziels are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Amzielan economy, worth 833 trillion Mono Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,812 Mono Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, holidaymakers sleep curled up on the floor as hotel beds are replaced with oversized bookcases, and citizens are grown in vats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angelarium's national animal is the Phonix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Personality Cult.

Angelarium is ranked 238,586^th in the world and 8,281^st in Osiris for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.09 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
