The Holy Empire of Maximum Imperium Rex is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, digital currency, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 473 million Maximal Imperian Rexans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Romesilla. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Maximum Imperium Rexian economy, worth 61.9 trillion denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 130,853 denarii, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,182,660 per year while the poor average 1,740, a ratio of 679 to 1.

Robosexual marriages are increasingly common, livestock mutilations are on the rise, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and small shoes often wash up on the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maximum Imperium Rex's national animal is the Polar Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Maximum Imperium Rex is ranked 8,711th in the world and 6th in Kantrias for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,163.49 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
