The Holy Empire of Christ Town is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, fear of technology, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 227 million Christ Townians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Christ Townian economy, worth 4.99 trillion ChristBuxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 21,985 ChristBuxes , and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The education system is famed for its taxing exams, centuries-old marble buildings are being torn down and replaced with corrugated steel wind tunnels, the Christ Town City Film Festival recently voted 'Christ Townian Getting Hit By Football' as best film, and all alcohol is banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Christ Town's national animal is the Lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Christ Town is ranked 284,924^th in the world and 20^th in The Anduavas for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -7 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
