The Holy Order of Unitum Certamen is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Holy Mother of the Divine with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.538 billion Devout 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Holy City of New Antioch. The average income tax rate is 82.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Devout economy, worth 196 trillion Gold Coins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,707 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights, retail stores are known for creating their own oddly-similar holidays in the months preceding any major festivity, school football matches are usually five-a-side, and light entertainment isn't dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unitum Certamen's national animal is the Lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The True Faith of the Light.

Unitum Certamen is ranked 22,032^nd in the world and 36^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,157.17 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
