The Holy Empire of Apostolites is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Holy Emperor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, triple-decker prams, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.186 billion Apostolites 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, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Megas Solomon. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Apostolitesian economy, worth an astonishing 12,214 trillion ichthys 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, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 a breathtaking 671,666 ichthys, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Only government officials may operate computers, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines, and the new Grand Inquisitor of Righteous Scientific Inquiry has ordered a surprising amount of hemlock. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apostolites's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Holy Emperor's Word.

Apostolites is ranked 37^th in the world and 1^st in Holy Imperial Hegemony for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 110,826.03 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
