The Holy Empire of God is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by YHWH with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.767 billion one and only God are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eden. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming God economy, worth 350 trillion Blessings a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,953 Blessings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. God's national animal is the Angel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The one and only me.

God is ranked 69,398th in the world and 5th in Heaven for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
