The Empire of Imperium Sempiternum is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its public floggings, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.516 billion Imperium Sempiternumians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperium. The average income tax rate is 81.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperium Sempiternumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,079 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 165,733 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody expected the fruit inquisition, forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, and the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperium Sempiternum's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Imperium Sempiternum is ranked 13,080^th in the world and 372^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 143.44 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
