The Eternal State of Empire of Impiria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiser Theodore with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.477 billion impirians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bertavet. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient impirian economy, worth 497 trillion Laras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 200,860 Laras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, double-parking is on the rise as automobile numbers increase, and murderers facing life in prison listen to long sermons on positive thinking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of Impiria's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Empire of Impiria is ranked 162,301^st in the world and 55^th in Union of Christian Nations for Largest Populations, with 2.48 billion capita.
