The Holy Warriors of Knights Templar XVI is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate population of 2.635 billion Knights Templar XVIians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 54.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Knights Templar XVIian economy, worth 130 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 49,341 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, Leader's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, and citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Knights Templar XVI's national animal is the dragon.

Knights Templar XVI is ranked 238,445th in the world and 4,594th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Black Market, with 198 billion Standard Monetary Units.
