The Empire of Imperial Dispatches is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 19.368 billion Imperial Dispatchesians 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 62.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial Dispatchesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,093 trillion Sovereigns a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,097 Sovereigns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Nerds everywhere are rejoicing as they are reunited with their computers, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, card players are calling the government's bluff on anti-gambling legislation, and geosynchronous satellites are now manned by unpaid interns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial Dispatches's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Imperial Dispatches is ranked 24,297^th in the world and 49^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Developed, scoring 85.31 on the Human Development Index.
