The Knight of Heaven of Angel19 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.592 billion Angel19ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Angel19ian economy, worth 512 trillion pounds 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 91,609 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, and all industry is owned and run by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angel19's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Angel19 is ranked 46,411th in the world and 524th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Most Stationary, with 941.0306130178 days.
