The Sinners repentice of Angels 0f Death is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rachel Gardner with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, vat-grown people, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.517 billion Angels 0f Deathians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Facility. The average income tax rate is 38.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Angels 0f Deathian economy, worth 641 trillion Yen 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 98,492 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', adulthood begins with the creation of an email account, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angels 0f Death's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Angels 0f Death is ranked 29,889^th in the world and 1^st in Aldrin for Most Patriotic, with 38.55 flags saluted per person per day.
