The Dominion of Disco Empire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Head of Council Blackadder with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 31.481 billion Disco Empireans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heartland. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Disco Empirean economy, worth an astonishing 16,694 trillion grooves a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 530,306 grooves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, the media seems excessively interested in what Head of Council Blackadder is wearing this season, bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble, and the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Disco Empire's national animal is the disco duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Disco Empire is ranked 4,787^th in the world and 2^nd in Federation of Planets Headquarters for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 8,456.57 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
