The Apocalypse of GeodesicDragon is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Herald Dawson with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.508 billion Apocalyptians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geotopia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Apocalyptian economy, worth an astonishing 17,556 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is a breathtaking 716,369 credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,412,337 per year while the poor average 157,609, a ratio of 15.3 to 1.

The nation's youth voluntarily goes to bed early out of sheer tiredness from their working days, stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and cute fluffy little Herald Dawsons are increasingly popular exotic pets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. GeodesicDragon's national animal is the manticore, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Geotology.

GeodesicDragon is ranked 118,117th in the world and 11th in Pony Lands for Most Stationary, with 309.0803230218 days.
