“From one many”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The State of Apokalupse is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 28.072 billion Apokalupseans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Apokalupsean economy, worth a remarkable 1,311 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,715 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 308,214 per year while the poor average 2,742, a ratio of 112 to 1.

Apokalupse has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Apokalupse in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Apokalupse's national religion, and the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Apokalupsean democracy. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Apokalupse's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Apokalupse is ranked 287,665^th in the world and 10^th in Addis Ababa for Lowest Crime Rates, with 35.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
