The Empire of Segmentia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Empress Divine with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 30.95 billion Segmentians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Segmentia. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The all-consuming Segmentian economy, worth a remarkable 5,664 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,014 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and kids these days know how to throw a proper punch. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Segmentia's national animal is the Xenomorph, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Imperial Church.

Segmentia is ranked 718th in the world and 1st in United Group for Lowest Crime Rates, with 180.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
