The Empire of Life empire is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 13.262 billion Life empireans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vitalis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Life empirean economy, worth a remarkable 3,577 trillion infinity credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 269,721 infinity credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 944,730 per year while the poor average 55,912, a ratio of 16.9 to 1.

People in Life empire can die peacefully knowing that all their debts are paid, hot dogs have been renamed lukewarm pigs, death is nobody's business, and bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Life empire's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Life empire is ranked 309,819^th in the world and 15^th in Lair of the Dragon for Most Cultured, scoring -24 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
