The Creepy old men of Superchristianlandia is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 782 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hypocrite City. The average income tax rate is 57%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

There's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content, teenagers are sent to jail for being out too late, and child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed. Crime is moderate. Superchristianlandia's national animal is the Jesus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Cross.

Superchristianlandia is ranked 23rd in Islandia and 43,149th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -12 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
