The Empire of The Final Requiem is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working population of 554 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 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Final Requiemian economy, worth 50.7 trillion Reqiuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,430 Reqiuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The The Final Requiem Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, schoolchildren are divided over Leader's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, companies have begun running campaigns to stop people from remembering their brand name, and you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health. 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.
