“Repent, for the end is near.”

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

The Republic of The Rapture is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 10.494 billion Raptureans 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 Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.4%.

The Rapturean economy, worth 402 trillion awefawefs a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,354 awefawefs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Rapture's national animal is the efawef.

The Rapture is ranked 255,755^th in the world and 10,086^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -36.06 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
