The Allied States of HMS Empress is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 5.05 billion HMS Empressians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23.2%.

The HMS Empressian economy, worth 227 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,989 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, and public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HMS Empress's national animal is the Kitsune.

HMS Empress is ranked 189,830^th in the world and 9^th in British Royal Navy for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 34,552.12 Standard Monetary Units.
