The Self-Proclaimed Empire of AP0CALYPSE is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Harbinger with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 43.714 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 18,461 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 422,326 bloody severed fingers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Secret police deal with secret crimes, you can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, Harbinger's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, and the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers. 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 309,733rd in the world and 51st in Antarctica for Highest Drug Use, scoring 0.43 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
