The Empire of Imperial Saber is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lex with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The humorless population of 8.217 billion Imperial Saberians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lexia. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial Saberian economy, worth a remarkable 1,745 trillion Sabers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an amazing 212,431 Sabers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cremation is compulsory for the deceased, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, and gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations. Crime is totally unknown. Imperial Saber's national animal is the Saber of the Mountain, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Imperial Saber is ranked 163,108^th in the world and 6,501^st in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 233.16 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
