The Armed Republic of The Federated Empire is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Grand General with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 16.839 billion Federated Empireans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central City. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Federated Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 3,624 trillion Dollars a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 215,250 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, parents dread their examinations more than their children, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Federated Empire's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Federated Empire is ranked 290,195^th in the world and 305^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Primitive, scoring -646.96 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
