The Empire of Infinite Star is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Karls Franz with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, triple-decker prams, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.48 billion Imperial 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altdorf. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 1,726 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 315,001 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

All artwork is carefully screened for offensive material, citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Infinite Star's national animal is the Gryphon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sigmar.

Infinite Star is ranked 2,182nd in the world and 22nd in the West Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 49,545 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
