The Horseman Of the Apocalypse of The Pale Horseman is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Death with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.325 billion Pale Horsemanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hell. The average income tax rate is 59.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Pale Horsemanian economy, worth 430 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 68,076 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Pale Horsemanian weed picker are way up, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Hell Natural History Museum, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and gossip magazines have pictures of Death sunbathing on the beach with political rivals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Pale Horseman's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Pale Horseman is ranked 16,470th in the world and 1st in Krieg for Most Cultured, scoring 98 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
