The Golden Apples of the Sun of The Great Destruction is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Kenneth The Talmanes Reed Son of Lars with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.314 billion are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Post Apocalyptic Remains of New York. The average income tax rate is 100%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

Harry Potter books are banned, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, and the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled The Great Destruction with a very polite populace. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Great Destruction's national animal is the Asian carp, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is The Atomic Genesis of the Sacred Bomb, and its currency is the ramshackle.

The Great Destruction is ranked 123,183rd in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -5 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
