The Imperium of The Changeling Horde is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Empress of changelingkind with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, otherworldly petting zoo, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.002 billion Changelings are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy Hive Primaris. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Changeling economy, worth a remarkable 2,413 trillion Bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 344,706 Bits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,422,360 per year while the poor average 16,692, a ratio of 145 to 1.

The beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, biological warfare is used to solve small disagreements, netizens fiercely argue over who loves The Empress of changelingkind more, and children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Changeling Horde's national animal is the Hydras, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nova Chyrsalis.

The Changeling Horde is ranked 79,157th in the world and 386th in 10000 Islands for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,332.69 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
