The Theocracy of Gospel Power is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The high priest with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.924 billion Christians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flaburg. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Gospel Powerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,402 trillion Nuvo Crowns 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. 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 236,765 Nuvo Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, trade ministers have to consult a fifty-page "sanctions spreadsheet" to determine which countries they are allowed to do business with, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gospel Power's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Gospel Power is ranked 2,852nd in the world and 123rd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 131.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
