The Heavenly Host of Archangel Michael is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by God with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 23.791 billion Hosts have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heaven. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Host economy, worth a remarkable 1,646 trillion Souls a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,191 Souls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, the nation's peacekeeping efforts usually come with a healthy dose of pillaging, and homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archangel Michael's national animal is the Angel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Grace.

Archangel Michael is ranked 51,770^th in the world and 15^th in Scotia for Safest, scoring 102.22 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
