The Mu Empire of EternalNight is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Midnight and Lord Enrial with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 32.402 billion Naacal enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Infinty's Nest Star System. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.0%.

The powerhouse Mu economy, worth a remarkable 6,461 trillion Imperial Energy Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 199,414 Imperial Energy Credits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,087,273 per year while the poor average 18,750, a ratio of 58.0 to 1.

Max Barry is this year's Miss EternalNight, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, euthanasia is legal, and in a fit of passion Lord Midnight and Lord Enrial has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. EternalNight's national animal is the Nightphoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The First Inspired Faith.

EternalNight is ranked 195,190^th in the world and 1^st in The Black Nebula for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 44.18 on the Hayek Index.
