The Holy Socialist Empire of Non-Believers is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Emperor Sweemer II with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, anti-smoking policies, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.172 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, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rio de Janeiro. The average income tax rate is 85.5%.

The strong Non-Believer economy, worth 154 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, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. 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 132,203 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, citizens know not to ask what their country can do for them but what they can do as chained slaves for their country, at the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold, and police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds. 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 273,748th in the world and 5,002nd in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.58 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
