The Empire of ApocalyptoX is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Karl Marximus III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.707 billion ApocalyptoXians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westphalia. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient ApocalyptoXian economy, worth 698 trillion Dangers 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 148,436 Dangers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The image of ApocalyptoX's future is just a picture from last century, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, there is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every ApocalyptoXian grocery store, and the Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ApocalyptoX's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox.

ApocalyptoX is ranked 25,287^th in the world and 99^th in the Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 96.5 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
