The Astral Empire of ElectriKM is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High-Empress Astria I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.715 billion Astrariis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Aurora. The average income tax rate is 70.1%.

The frighteningly efficient ElectriKMian economy, worth a remarkable 1,820 trillion Stellariums 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. 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 amazing 271,117 Stellariums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Street food vendors are accompanied by personal fleets of garbage trucks, the army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses, movie producers send film critics wads of cash in their morning newspapers in anticipation of gushing praise, and stony-faced ratings board panelists are unamused by free lap dances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ElectriKM's national animal is the Violet-Tailed Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Astrariism.

ElectriKM is ranked 16,589^th in the world and 2^nd in Kolossus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,801.99 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
