The Principality of Apocalypse World is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 771 million Faithful are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lebanon Kansas. The average income tax rate is 46.0%.

The Faithful economy, worth 45.4 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,912 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The Lebanon Kansas Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District, the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse, and Apocalypse World has designated Lebanon Kansas as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apocalypse World's national animal is the Angel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Apocalypse World is ranked 69,722^nd in the world and 21^st in Middle East for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,532.88 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
