The Imperial Moral Imperative of Cosmic Unity Church is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Chairman Borgia LXVII with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.916 billion Faithful are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Spirituality, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Education and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hydra. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Faithful economy, worth 745 trillion Cyberdimes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 151,548 Cyberdimes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,379,348 per year while the poor average 1,885, a ratio of 731 to 1.

The booming slave trade is now government-funded, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, the nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, and several inches are being added to first class seating. Crime is a major problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Cosmic Unity Church's national animal is the Kestrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Apollo.

Cosmic Unity Church is ranked 288,189th in the world and 310th in Forest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 34.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
