The Holy Socialist Empire of Non-Believers is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Emperor Sweemer II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, strictly enforced bedtime, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.188 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 receives no funds. 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 157 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 132,625 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, and the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime. 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 198,846th in the world and 4,187th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 45.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
