The Holy Empire of The Great Templar Order is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Richard King with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, avowedly heterosexual populace, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 11.581 billion Great Templar Orderians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jerusalem. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.6%.

The very strong Great Templar Orderian economy, worth 825 trillion God poops a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,283 God poops, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 250,826 per year while the poor average 14,673, a ratio of 17.1 to 1.

The military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, many say faith is a crutch for those who can't move forward, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Great Templar Order's national animal is the Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholicism.

The Great Templar Order is ranked 228,097th in the world and 1,069th in Europe for Most Stationary, with 26.01645557168 days.
