The Theocracy of Heaven Gate is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Rinmie Orworwi with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.962 billion Heaven Gateans 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fall Gate. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Heaven Gatean economy, worth 190 trillion Angel's Rings 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 97,186 Angel's Rings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, and the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heaven Gate's national animal is the Angel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Children of the True Angel.

Heaven Gate is ranked 117,550^th in the world and 17^th in Australia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,702.25 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
