The Armed Republic of Th3 Galactic Empire is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 67 million citizens of the Empire are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 32.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Imperial economy, worth 3.86 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 57,541 Imperial Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Bargain-hunting is considered unpatriotic, a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders, foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, and the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Th3 Galactic Empire's national animal is the Loth Cat.

Th3 Galactic Empire is ranked 101,306^th in the world and 2,027^th in the Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
