The Sadistic Republic of Bright Angel is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Johann der Becker with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.018 billion Bright Angelians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Spirituality, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flagstaff. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bright Angelian economy, worth an astonishing 30,372 trillion zuchs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, 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 a breathtaking 1,124,159 zuchs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,081,506 per year while the poor average 152,870, a ratio of 33.2 to 1.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, Bright Angel Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', the single fish caught by Bright Angelian fishers last year is cited as evidence of Bright Angel's thriving fisheries, and newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Bright Angel's national animal is the red bearded woodchuck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Veni vidi vici.

Bright Angel is ranked 17^th in the world and 1^st in Macfora Forever for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 20,981.61 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
