The Holy Authoritarian State of The Aeternum Empire is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Aeternum Emperor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.34 billion Imperial Citizens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Spirituality are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paragon Eterna. The average income tax rate is 26.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Imperial Loyalists economy, worth 516 trillion Imperial Xions a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,663 Imperial Xions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, a sophisticated government-sponsored breeding program creates normal people, libraries are refusing to stock A Midsummer Night's Dream because it has an ass in it, and applications to enter seminaries spike right before the obligatory fasts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Aeternum Empire's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Aeternum Empire is ranked 290,456^th in the world and 31^st in The Galaktic Empire for Most Secular, with 9.26 Atheism Rate.
