The Imperium of Remulia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kmer Kamile with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 22.148 billion Remulians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ralera. The average income tax rate is 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Remulian economy, worth an astonishing 11,635 trillion lyras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 525,361 lyras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Computers have been put in control of the economy to keep computers from controlling the economy, the Treasury Minister takes anxiety medication every time kids lose their sports kits, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Remulia's national animal is the anooba, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islass.

Remulia is ranked 3,060th in the world and 2nd in The Milky Way Galaxy for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 17,991.91 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
