The Roman Catholic Diocese of S-Hertogenbosch is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mgr Michaël Ophovius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, prohibition of alcohol, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.564 billion Roman Catholics 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Den Bosch. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Diocesan economy, worth a remarkable 1,359 trillion Carolusguldens a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 128,692 Carolusguldens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The judicial system legislates morality, the nobility are anxious about the government's new "three executions and you're out" policy, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, and the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. S-Hertogenbosch's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

S-Hertogenbosch is ranked 12,044^th in the world and 2^nd in Vatican for Most Conservative, scoring 88.33 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
