The People's Republic of Amerikan Templars is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 15.774 billion Amerikan Templars 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 62.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Amerikan Templarsian economy, worth 379 trillion topaz rings a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,090 topaz rings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government seizes all major gold finds, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, organ donation is compulsory, and elections have been outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amerikan Templars's national animal is the Wharf Rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Amerikan Templars is ranked 66,267^th in the world and 2^nd in New America for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
