The Empire of Diogo Alves is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Diogo Alves with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.552 billion Empirelings are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amadora. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Diogo Alvesian economy, worth 892 trillion imperials a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,380 imperials, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Diogo Alvesian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, the doctor has cold hands, party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, and the study of medicine is popular throughout Diogo Alves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diogo Alves's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kanojo Okarishimasu.

Diogo Alves is ranked 272,326^th in the world and 10,450^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 8,663.6 Standard Monetary Units.
