The Interstellar Hegemony of Glorious Terran Empire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Tiberius I Maximus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.196 billion Imperials are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Imperial Palace. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Terran economy, worth a remarkable 1,839 trillion Terran Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 164,336 Terran Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, the new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, and you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glorious Terran Empire's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Imperial Personality Cult.

Glorious Terran Empire is ranked 54,165^th in the world and 2,604^th in Lazarus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 572.84 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
