The Empire of The Eternal Ascendancy is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Natsuko Aokita with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.379 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 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eternalist economy, worth a remarkable 1,347 trillion Eternal Credits a year, is quite specialized 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 129,795 Eternal Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing, and children are often punished for the sins of the fathers. 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 22,500^th in the world and 150^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 49.45 flags saluted per person per day.
