The Holy Socialist Empire of Non-Believers is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Emperor Sweemer II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.108 billion Non-Believers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rio de Janeiro. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Non-Believer economy, worth 137 trillion rubles 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Trout Farming. 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 124,466 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban, bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity, and praying before a battle is a court-martial offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Non-Believers's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State-Mandated Secularism.

Non-Believers is ranked 292,174th in the world and 5,607th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.23 average smiles per day.
