The Empire of ApocalyptoX is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Karl Marximus III with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.659 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 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient ApocalyptoXian economy, worth 686 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 147,291 Dangers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

ApocalyptoX has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, people at rock bottom are handed a shovel and a cold one, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors. 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 18,116^th in the world and 289^th in the Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 325.29 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
