The Supreme Empire of The Legion of Mankind is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Federal Council with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.313 billion Legionites 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varela. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Legionite economy, worth a remarkable 3,361 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 273,015 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, and the most commonly-worn shoes are concrete ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Legion of Mankind's national animal is the Black Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Lokalism.

The Legion of Mankind is ranked 8,879th in the world and 2nd in Monarchist and Democratic Alliance for Most Cultured, scoring 125 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
