The Lordship of Angels of Grief is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The cynical, devout population of 7.532 billion Angels of Griefians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Angels of Griefian economy, worth 760 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,948 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.
Homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, prospective secessionists nervously declare how worthless and unimportant they are, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, and student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned lionball fields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angels of Grief's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Angels of Grief is ranked 80,150th in the world and 1,289th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Populations, with 7.53 billion capita.
