The Federal Republic of Emperia Bay is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.11 billion Emperians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Empire City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperian economy, worth 440 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 141,571 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 599,437 per year while the poor average 21,599, a ratio of 27.8 to 1.

Exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Empire City Times is sold out, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, and economists confusingly list "fusarium rot and leaf blight" as major risk factors for monetary deflation. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Emperia Bay's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Emperia Bay is ranked 201,457^th in the world and 7,754^th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 39.79 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
