The Imperial Dominion of Longweather is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Dresden Mourningway with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, humorless population of 27.912 billion Alor 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.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oblivion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Alor economy, worth an astonishing 12,798 trillion Imperial Yoras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 458,528 Imperial Yoras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain, bins outnumber trees in city parks, Emperor Dresden Mourningway's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts, and Alor watches list strained wrists as a common side effect. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Longweather's national animal is the Light Blue Longweather Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Church of Thesse.

Longweather is ranked 186,502^nd in the world and 1,944^th in the Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 195.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
