The Apocalypse of GeodesicDragon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Herald Dawson with an iron fist, and notable for its vat-grown people, smutty television, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.947 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, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geotopia. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Apocalyptian economy, worth an astonishing 19,410 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 748,098 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's most popular sport is sabotaging foreigners' hopes and dreams, the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', Herald Dawson's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, and school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. GeodesicDragon's national animal is the manticore, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Geotology.

GeodesicDragon is ranked 47th in the world and 1st in Pony Lands for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 97,616.61 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
