The Galactic Empire of Fated is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Destiny with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, zero percent divorce rate, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.33 billion Fatedians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fated City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Fatedian economy, worth 969 trillion prophecies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 223,953 prophecies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,039,155 per year while the poor average 2,775, a ratio of 734 to 1.

Beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers, advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Destiny's most personal functions, and the weather in Fated City is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings'. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Fated's national animal is the heart meridian, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dark Heaven.

Fated is ranked 1,621^st in the world and 59^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 8,746.74 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
