The Archangel Guardian of Gabriel is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 27.124 billion Gabrielians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Gabrielian economy, worth 470 trillion Holy Loves 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 a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. 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 17,333 Holy Loves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gabriel's national animal is the Man, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gabriel is ranked 14,959th in the world and 15th in Hell for Most Stationary, with 1,780.98432544708 days.
