The Autonomous Nation of Empy is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nick with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 26.821 billion Mpyians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Mpy City. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Empyian economy, worth a remarkable 7,770 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 289,717 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents, beggars lack pockets for spare change, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Empy's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is none.

Empy is ranked 188,547^th in the world and 2,710^th in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.59 percentage of bribes refused.
