The Empire of The Empire0 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Palpatine with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.091 billion Imperials enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Courasant. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient an Imperial economy, worth 565 trillion credits 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,146 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is a law against "filthy foreign food", the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, and farting etiquette is taught in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Empire0's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic.

The Empire0 is ranked 272,977^th in the world and 3^rd in The Empire0 for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.85 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
