The Rising of the of Holy empire of the deep is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Manus lord of the abyss with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.304 billion Peoples 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cathedral of the deep. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.8%.

The very strong Holy empire of the deepian economy, worth 424 trillion Monneys 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. 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 80,091 Monneys, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody ever questions the unquestioned rule that questions must always be asked, water fights now end with thousands dead, six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, and couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy empire of the deep's national animal is the Saurophaganax, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
