The Democratic Republic of The Militant Apostate Convent is a huge, genial nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 422 million Militant Apostate Conventians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Militant Apostate Conventian economy, worth 6.99 trillion francs 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 16,567 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Militant Apostate Convent's national animal is the fox.

The Militant Apostate Convent is ranked 179,439^th in the world and 5^th in Defense League of Militant Convents for Most Conservative, scoring 51.8 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
