The Sublime Empire of The Free United Worlds is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sublime Emperor Michail I Vechlya with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.43 billion Imperials are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Babylon. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 3,147 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 234,395 Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, Imperials believe manners maketh the leader, and the government has put a kid glove on the invisible hand of the free market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Free United Worlds's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

The Free United Worlds is ranked 292,693^rd in the world and 141^st in Spiritus for Most Primitive, scoring -983.96 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
