The Rim Empire of Legital is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by The High Emperor with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.942 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Education and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riloft. The average income tax rate is 87%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés, notable individuals are granted land and titles, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Legital's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Agnosticism, and its currency is the Credit .

Legital is ranked 2nd in Spacium and 12,914th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 32 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
