The Dominion of Empitast is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 78 million Empitastians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The strong Empitastian economy, worth 3.12 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 40,021 kronor, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 257,944 per year while the poor average 2,508, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Empitast's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Empitast is ranked 271,611^th in the world and 3^rd in The West Russia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -53.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
