The Empire of Field theory is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.687 billion Field theoryians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.8%.

The very strong Field theoryian economy, worth 234 trillion Duckcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,539 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion, human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, and a major religion has been named as Field theory's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Field theory's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Field theory is ranked 298,860th in the world and 1,203rd in Artificial Solar System for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -10.62 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
