The Self-Proclaimed Empire of AP0CALYPSE is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Harbinger with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 44.066 billion AP0CALYPSEians 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terminus. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient AP0CALYPSEian economy, worth an astonishing 18,622 trillion bloody severed fingers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 422,600 bloody severed fingers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, ranchers are adept at mimicking wolf attacks, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, and Big Brother is still watching even when your big brother is dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. AP0CALYPSE's national animal is the bio-organic weapon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of the Coming Darkness.

AP0CALYPSE is ranked 313,900^th in the world and 47^th in Antarctica for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -326 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
