The United Kingdom of Imperia Republic is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, flagrant waste-dumping, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 74 million Imperia Republicians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The strong Imperia Republician economy, worth 3.92 trillion Gold Cubes a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 52,921 Gold Cubes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 297,588 per year while the poor average 4,648, a ratio of 64.0 to 1.

Women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested, a life spent suffering in silence is considered noble, the government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers, and newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words'. Crime is a problem. Imperia Republic's national animal is the Hanaxtapotomus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Imperia Republic is ranked 282,513^th in the world and 782^nd in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -5.48 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
