The Protectorate of Imbrilim is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, flagrant waste-dumping, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.726 billion Imbrilimians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 63.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Imbrilimian economy, worth a remarkable 1,198 trillion hardwares a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,363 hardwares, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are expected to carve their own toys, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, orange trees find it's not easy being green, and dozens of viewers tune in weekly to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imbrilim's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Imbrilim is ranked 235,183rd in the world and 9,482nd in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 8.24 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
