The Sadistic Republic of Bright Angel is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Johann der Becker with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 42.991 billion Bright Angelians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Spirituality, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. 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 a staggering 56,978 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 1,325,367 zuchs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Bright Angel at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, and it is often said that only Johann der Becker could bring down Dàguó. 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 28^th in the world and 1^st in Macfora Forever for Lowest Crime Rates, with 364.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
