The Theocracy of Redemptoria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 15.702 billion Redemptorians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Redemptorian economy, worth a remarkable 3,185 trillion Good Deeds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 202,848 Good Deeds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,215,998 per year while the poor average 15,339, a ratio of 79.3 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, loading sixteen tons of laundry gets you another year older and deeper in debt, and costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Redemptoria's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Redemptoria is ranked 26,187th in the world and 8th in Doll Guldur for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
