The God Fearing Militant Vegans of Godfist is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Hand with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.183 billion Servants of the Fist 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored.

However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Basket Weaving.

Average income is an impressive 111,939 Most Blessed Token of Faith and Devotions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Godfist's national animal is the Orderly and Obedient Sacred Hymn Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Fist of God.

Godfist is ranked 259,440th in the world and 6,093rd in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 16.58 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
