The Empire of Empty set is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.911 billion Empty setians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 50.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Empty setian economy, worth 332 trillion Duckcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,120 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, the roundel of the Empty Setian Air Force has become an internationally recognized symbol of destruction, and the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empty set's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Empty set is ranked 317,042^nd in the world and 1,242^nd in Artificial Solar System for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -9.67 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
