The International Union of Imperial Danubian Federation is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Kaiser Karl II with an even hand, and notable for its enslaved workforce, soft-spoken computers, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 14.745 billion Imperial Danubians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neu Wien. The average income tax rate is 4.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial Danubian economy, worth a remarkable 3,154 trillion Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 213,958 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, there's a bright dawn ahead for Imperial Danubian Federation, being Kaiser Karl II has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and a massive campaign is underway to ensure the race of Imperial Danubian Federation remains pure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Imperial Danubian Federation's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Paganism.

Imperial Danubian Federation is ranked 25,020^th in the world and 30^th in KAISERREICH for Safest, scoring 111.38 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
