The Astral Empire of ElectriKM is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by High-Empress Astria I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, national health service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.814 billion Astrariis 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Aurora. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient ElectriKMian economy, worth a remarkable 1,874 trillion Stellariums 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 an amazing 275,106 Stellariums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

High-Empress Astria I's reputation is hard as nails, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ElectriKM's national animal is the Violet-Tailed Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Astrariism.

ElectriKM is ranked 2,750th in the world and 2nd in Kolossus for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 66,976.98 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
