The Holy Empire of Of the Church is a small, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 32 million the Churchians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 12.0%.

The the Churchian economy, worth 1.76 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 55,053 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, military spending recently hit a new high, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Of the Church's national animal is the wold, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Of the Church is ranked 270,844^th in the world and 266^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Populations, with 32.0 million capita.
