The Empire of World Empire is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Ronald I with an iron fist, and notable for its fear of technology, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.941 billion Citizen of the Empires are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Empidoralis. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving World Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,579 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 132,240 Imperial Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Jaywalking is punishable by public flogging, the nation refuses to provide international aid, breaking rocks in the hot sun now involves using your head, and cubicles often double as graves as citizens literally work themselves to death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. World Empire's national animal is the Friesian Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Empidolism.

World Empire is ranked 290,960^th in the world and 13^th in Azure Watester Federation for Nicest Citizens, with 0.18 average smiles per day.
