The Holy Empire of JohnPaulopolis is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.051 billion JohnPaulopolisians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vatican City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.4%.

The frighteningly efficient JohnPaulopolisian economy, worth 532 trillion Holy See Lire a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 174,593 Holy See Lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 610,469 per year while the poor average 36,289, a ratio of 16.8 to 1.

Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, kids feel more beat up than ever after a hard day at school, schoolkids are often mistaken for fast food workers, and going on a diet invalidates your passport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. JohnPaulopolis's national animal is the Lamb, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

JohnPaulopolis is ranked 4,510^th in the world and 6^th in Catholic for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 7,059.66 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
