The Empire of The Eternal Ascendancy is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Natsuko Aokita with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.107 billion Eternalists are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eternalist economy, worth a remarkable 1,238 trillion Eternal Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,016 Eternal Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Eternal Ascendancy's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Eternal Ascendancy is ranked 33,933^rd in the world and 460^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,885.17 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
