The Empire of Life empire is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its daily referendums, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 9.679 billion Life empireans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vitalis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Life empirean economy, worth a remarkable 2,513 trillion infinity credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 259,735 infinity credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 850,389 per year while the poor average 59,585, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.
After every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', and autopsies often involve only cursory examination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Life empire's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Life empire is ranked 18,965th in the world and 8th in Lair of the Dragon for Largest Governments, scoring 30.98 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
