The Empire of The Supreme Dominating Empire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Dominator with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.232 billion Supreme Dominating Empireans 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Domination District. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Supreme Dominating Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 2,870 trillion Kachubis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 255,596 Kachubis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, trains and passengers alike are often late, and crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Supreme Dominating Empire's national animal is the Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Domination.

The Supreme Dominating Empire is ranked 2,563rd in the world and 90th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 19,434.2 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
