The Principate of Imperia of Awesome Imperium is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Julia Caesaris with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 5.254 billion Imperians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roma et Veneria. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Awesome Imperiumian economy, worth 312 trillion Numismatas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,424 Numismatas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has been criticized for giving away Awesome Imperium's territory to anyone who claims it, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Awesome Imperium's national animal is the Imperial Aquila, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hellenism.

Awesome Imperium is ranked 93,240^th in the world and 1,931^st in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 89.36 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
