The Sublime Empire of The Free United Worlds is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sublime Emperor Michail I Vechlya with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, prohibition of alcohol, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.379 billion Imperials are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Babylon. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 3,137 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 234,473 Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, etiquette guides advise visitors to 'grovel gracefully', tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, and the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Free United Worlds's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

The Free United Worlds is ranked 1,566th in the world and 3rd in Spiritus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 153.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
