The Trans-Ascendant Empyrea of The Galactic American Imperium is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Kaeso with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, strictly enforced bedtime, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.377 billion Imperial Americans 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Americana. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth a remarkable 4,777 trillion Interstellar Imperial Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 647,671 Interstellar Imperial Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Galactic American Imperium's national animal is the Imperial Abyss Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is State Atheism.

The Galactic American Imperium is ranked 1,445^th in the world and 20^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 157.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
