The Tripartite Kingdom of Nova Angelus is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by King Jakob Emilio of Dauphin Havre with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.678 billion Nova Angelusians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blue Nova. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nova Angelusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,249 trillion Angel's Hearts a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,127 Angel's Hearts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, and crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Angelus's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Angelism.

Nova Angelus is ranked 19,372^nd in the world and 199^th in Europeia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,279.19 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
