The Sadistic Republic of Bright Angel is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Johann der Becker with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 33.577 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, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Spirituality, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. 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 41,955 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 1,249,516 zuchs, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, the government is encouraging violence on television, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', and gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations. 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 759^th in the world and 1^st in Macfora Forever for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 76,912.51 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
