Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, Imperial isa's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region, school uniforms are compulsory, and military spending is on the increase. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial isa's national animal is the Imperial Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the USD.
