The Imperial Dominion of Longweather is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Dresden Mourningway with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, humorless population of 24.025 billion Alor are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oblivion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Alor economy, worth an astonishing 10,695 trillion Imperial Yoras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 445,179 Imperial Yoras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and the Farmer's Almanac is the most popular college textbook. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Longweather's national animal is the Light Blue Longweather Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Church of Thesse.

Longweather is ranked 223,938^th in the world and 2,634^th in the Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.43 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
