The Red Holy Catholic Division of The New Temple Knights is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Knight John Peter with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 33.478 billion Knights of the New Temple are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Templarcardia. The average income tax rate is 88.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Knight of the New Temple economy, worth a remarkable 2,384 trillion Ords a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,232 Ords, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bins outnumber trees in city parks, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, there are no more heroes any more, and public urination is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The New Temple Knights's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The New Temple Knights is ranked 6,324^th in the world and 2^nd in Vatican II for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,030.07 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
