The Holy Sovereign Order of Resplendent Devotion is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.082 billion Denizens 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Temple of Concord. The average income tax rate is 48.7%.

The large but underdeveloped Resplendent Devotionian economy, worth 438 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 39,548 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, military spending recently hit a new high, and Resplendent Devotion has designated Temple of Concord as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Resplendent Devotion's national animal is the serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Resplendent Devotion is ranked 230,415^th in the world and 18^th in Matt for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 39.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
