The Deliverer of Good News of The Gospels is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gospelian Pope IV with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.18 billion Gospelsians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, although Welfare, Education, and Defense are also considered important, while Industry and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gethsamane. The average income tax rate is 11.1%.

The large but inefficient Gospelsian economy, worth 132 trillion Silvers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 41,617 Silvers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, Gospelian Pope IV has just been declared ruler of The Gospels in an international press conference, and Christianity has been named as The Gospels's national religion. Crime is relatively low. The Gospels's national animal is the Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Gospels is ranked 260,985^th in the world and 4^th in Gospels for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.78 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
