The Always Alive of Angeloid Astraea is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Joy with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.152 billion Angeloids are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astraea City. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient an Angeloid economy, worth 426 trillion Seeds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 35,111 Seeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police force is on a recruitment drive, Angeloid Astraea has designated Astraea City as its capital city, military spending is on the increase, and Joy has just been declared ruler of Angeloid Astraea in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angeloid Astraea's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Angeloid Astraea is ranked 93,569^th in the world and 88^th in Sparkalia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
