The Federation of Imperial Highmarch is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.037 billion Imperial Highmarchians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 41.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Imperial Highmarchian economy, worth 84.7 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,708 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
When you fly on Air Imperial Highmarch you win a seat or you die, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, commemorative mugs remembering last year's Black Friday Crockery Riots are a best seller this year, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial Highmarch's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Imperial Highmarch is ranked 87,537th in the world and 8th in Rings Around Uranus for Safest, scoring 87.17 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
