The People's Republic of Imperax is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 495 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 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Imperaxian economy, worth 37.8 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 significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 76,388 Reichsmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, criminals are thrown to the Eagles to repay their debt to society, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims. 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 25,140^th in the world and 690^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,932.58 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
