The People's Republic of Imperax is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 520 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 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Imperaxian economy, worth 40.7 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 78,344 Reichsmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The doctor has cold hands, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, and soldiers are equipped with multi-million Reichsmark battlesuits. 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 266,515^th in the world and 3,798^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
