The Theocracy of Ad Honorem Dei is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Prince-Archabbot Daniel with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, devout population of 19.075 billion Angeli are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of De Civitate Dei. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Angelican economy, worth a remarkable 1,565 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,065 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists, political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia, people who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile, and doves are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ad Honorem Dei's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Ad Honorem Dei is ranked 43,613^th in the world and 559^th in The East Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 60,607.58 Standard Monetary Units.
