The Holy Crusader State of Godterra is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Prophet Gabriel with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.01 billion Crusaders 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jerusalen. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Crusader economy, worth a remarkable 2,610 trillion holy denariis 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing. 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 260,806 holy denariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trade deals are born to the sound of a royal woman's anguished screams, tweenage nobles order army regiments to do their homework for them, the inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under, and military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Godterra's national animal is the Anglosaxon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Crusader Cristianity.

Godterra is ranked 345,709th in the world and 16,471st in Osiris for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -21.17 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
