The Apocalypse of GeodesicDragon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Herald Dawson with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.86 billion Apocalyptians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geotopia. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Apocalyptian economy, worth an astonishing 25,295 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is a breathtaking 847,150 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, and just as students finish their homework it's time for school. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. GeodesicDragon's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Geotology.

GeodesicDragon is ranked 40th in the world and 1st in Sancturia for Largest Black Market, with 41,212 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
