Overview • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United States of Fat Angel is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prince Pudge with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 15.159 billion Fat Angelians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 82.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fat Angelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,653 trillion duckets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 109,109 duckets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, nerds everywhere are rejoicing as they are reunited with their computers, and young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fat Angel's national animal is the howler monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fat Angel is ranked 13,217^th in the world and 795^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,751.87 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
