The Empire of The Last Empire is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Visoraxus Holoratus Starkiller with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 10.477 billion citizens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Visograd. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.3%.

The strong imperial economy, worth 654 trillion rubledollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,440 rubledollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

People who have lived their entire lives in The Last Empire are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, and radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Last Empire's national animal is the robot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Durmism.

The Last Empire is ranked 108,118^th in the world and 1,870^th in Suspicious for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,833.48 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
