The Sadistic Republic of Bright Angel is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Johann der Becker with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, rampant corporate plagiarism, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 33.125 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 41,387 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 1,249,438 zuchs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Bright Angel is suspiciously populated compared to its neighbors, the nation's soldiers are considered the best-dressed in Macfora Forever, they who do not work shall not eat, and betting pennies on games of Go Fish is considered deviant. 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 755^th in the world and 2^nd in Macfora Forever for Most Developed, scoring 98.49 on the Human Development Index.
