The Self-Proclaimed Empire of AP0CALYPSE is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Harbinger with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, state-planned economy, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 46.138 billion AP0CALYPSEians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terminus. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient AP0CALYPSEian economy, worth an astonishing 19,493 trillion bloody severed fingers 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 an amazing 422,499 bloody severed fingers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, tumbleweeds are seen blowing through the nation's airspace, signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading AP0CALYPSEian justice, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. AP0CALYPSE's national animal is the bio-organic weapon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of the Coming Darkness.

AP0CALYPSE is ranked 278,357^th in the world and 40^th in Antarctica for Safest, scoring 5.9 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
