The Monarchical Confederation of The Huge Golden Empire is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by HIM Louis Aleksandr of THGE with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.942 billion Golden Imperials are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golden Atlas. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Golden Imperialish economy, worth a remarkable 5,398 trillion Golden Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 338,611 Golden Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", biology and religious education classes have recently been merged, government workers are more efficient and more unhappy than ever, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime is totally unknown. The Huge Golden Empire's national animal is the Golden Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Huge Golden Empire is ranked 1,248^th in the world and 22^nd in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 162.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
