The Red Holy Catholic Division of The New Temple Knights is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord Knight John Peter with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 37.724 billion Knights of the New Temple are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Templarcardia. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong A Knight of the New Temple economy, worth a remarkable 2,863 trillion Ords a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,899 Ords, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bins outnumber trees in city parks, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, there are no more heroes any more, and public urination is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The New Temple Knights's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The New Temple Knights is ranked 290,282^nd in the world and 5^th in Vatican II for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -28.44 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
