The Holy Empire of New Patmos is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The devout population of 117 million Patmosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.8%.

The thriving New Patmosian economy, worth 8.61 trillion Soliduses a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,567 Soliduses, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, the government loves seeing the little people fight, and nude art is becoming wildly popular. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Patmos's national animal is the Lamb, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Patmos is ranked 96,285^th in the world and 194^th in Christians for Highest Average Incomes, with 73,567.11 Standard Monetary Units.
