The Holy Socialist Empire of Non-Believers is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Emperor Sweemer II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, enslaved workforce, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.251 billion Non-Believers 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, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rio de Janeiro. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Non-Believer economy, worth 166 trillion rubles 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 impressive 133,174 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Military instructors tire of being asked for another bedtime story by seven-year-old conscripts, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and Supreme Emperor Sweemer II's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Non-Believers's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State-Mandated Secularism.

Non-Believers is ranked 76,413^th in the world and 1,582^nd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 102.02 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
