The Utopia of Firestorm 98 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, devout population of 22.793 billion angels 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Hall of Creation. The average income tax rate is 81.0%.

The all-consuming angelic economy, worth a remarkable 2,608 trillion gold ingots a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,445 gold ingots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Large areas of Firestorm 98 are not accessible by the public, the might of the nation's air force has been deployed against people with sticks in boats, expensive show trials reveal the harshness of the nation's justice system, and criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Firestorm 98's national animal is the celestial dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Firestorm 98 is ranked 32,530^th in the world and 1^st in The Geometric Equanimity TGE for Highest Food Quality, scoring 57.47 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
