The Imperium of Remulia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kmer Kamile with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 20.659 billion Remulians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Remulian economy, worth an astonishing 10,525 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 509,471 lyras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billions are being spent on a new island airport, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, and five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Remulia's national animal is the anooba, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islass.

Remulia is ranked 1,666th in the world and 1st in The Milky Way Galaxy for Most Cultured, scoring 292 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
