The People's Republic of Imperax is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 625 million Imperaxians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vanguard. The average income tax rate is 84.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Imperaxian economy, worth 52.0 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 83,120 Reichsmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Imperaxians any less frightened, military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, and Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperax's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Imperax is ranked 225,153^rd in the world and 3,230^th in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1.26 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
