The Empire of Empire of a Million Suns is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Eternal God Emperor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, aversion to nipples, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.273 billion Flesh Units 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eternal Spire. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 5,369 trillion Aforgomons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 404,516 Aforgomons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,780,405 per year while the poor average 57,692, a ratio of 30.9 to 1.

The country has unplugged its internet connection to prevent subversive content, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, and according to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of a Million Suns's national animal is the Nathrezim, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Empire of a Million Suns is ranked 2,324th in the world and 19th in the West Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 16,271.64 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
