The Empire of Napoleono is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Nick I with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.644 billion Napoleonish 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 relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chicago. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Napoleonan economy, worth 243 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 148,239 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, economists claim no news is good news, charity workers were first up against the wall when the time came, and ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Napoleono's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Christianity.

Napoleono is ranked 33,346^th in the world and 1^st in New Commonwealth for Most Patriotic, with 36.2 flags saluted per person per day.
