The Holy Empire of New Patmos is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies. The devout population of 83 million Patmosians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong New Patmosian economy, worth 5.32 trillion Soliduses a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,131 Soliduses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Condemned prisoners spend hours a day sitting in lotus position looking perplexed, Lambs are considered a delicacy, the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled New Patmos with a very polite populace, and paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Patmos's national animal is the Lamb, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Patmos is ranked 96,037^th in the world and 194^th in Christians for Most Developed, scoring 62.43 on the Human Development Index.
