The Imperial Dominion of Longweather is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Dresden Mourningway with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 22.734 billion Alor are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oblivion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Alor economy, worth a remarkable 9,979 trillion Imperial Yoras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 438,960 Imperial Yoras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", children are raised bilingual from an early age, mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Longweather's national animal is the Light Blue Longweather Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Church of Thesse.

Longweather is ranked 16,263rd in the world and 207th in the Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,087.13 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
