The Constitutional Dicatatorship of Religioncord is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chad Truc with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 9.694 billion Religacords enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manrute. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Religioncordian economy, worth a remarkable 1,785 trillion Baja Blasts a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 184,137 Baja Blasts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government maintains a Department of Skulduggery, people say chess victor Chad Truc can kill you with mind-bullets, statues of famous citizens are erected or demolished on a purely partisan basis, and economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year. Crime is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Religioncord's national animal is the Murlock, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Religioncord is ranked 130,440^th in the world and 4,786^th in The North Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 3.21 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
