The Diocese of The National Shrine of Our Lady of China is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bishop Charles Chrysosthemos-d'Lyoún MC with a fair hand, and notable for its fear of technology, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.306 billion parishioners love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Spirituality, with Welfare, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Defense isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parish Office. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped parishian economy, worth 35.1 trillion Religious Florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,902 Religious Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's official position on invasive species is 'who cares?', cat-wagons to Parish Office are often canceled due to excessive levels of manure on the roads, every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, and corporate lobbying has been outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The National Shrine of Our Lady of China's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The National Shrine of Our Lady of China is ranked 272,057^th in the world and 4^th in Imperial Majestic Domains for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -11.22 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
