The Federation of Nouvel Empire is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 424 million Imperial citizens 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastion. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient imperial economy, worth 41.4 trillion Imperial credits a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,649 Imperial credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to Nouvel Empire" on tails, people have to sneak out of the country in order to have sex, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and autopsies often involve only cursory examination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nouvel Empire's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nouvel Empire is ranked 257,147^th in the world and 10,959^th in the South Pacific for Most Avoided, scoring 0.83 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
