The Empire of Imperium of Leharion is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor William Leharion with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.728 billion Imperium of Leharionians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarantia. The average income tax rate is 89.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperium of Leharionian economy, worth 864 trillion Imperial coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,855 Imperial coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, and new research always seems to support government initiatives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperium of Leharion's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Emperor God Cult.

Imperium of Leharion is ranked 143,468^th in the world and 3,227^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,358.57 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
