The Illuminated Autocracy of Max Empire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Max the wearer-of-many-crowns with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 27.714 billion Maxians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maxopolis. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Maxian economy, worth an astonishing 16,696 trillion Maxian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 602,459 Maxian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Governments opposing Max Empire are beset by rebels, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, new research always seems to support government initiatives, and urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Max Empire's national animal is the Maxian bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Maxism.

Max Empire is ranked 932^nd in the world and 1^st in Phoenix Coalition for Lowest Crime Rates, with 173.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
