The Empire of The Final Requiem is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 564 million Final Requiemians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Requiem. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Final Requiemian economy, worth 52.7 trillion Reqiuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,355 Reqiuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Companies have begun running campaigns to stop people from remembering their brand name, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Final Requiem's national animal is the Banshee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Final Requiem is ranked 71,746^th in the world and 474^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,020.36 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
