The Bureaucratic State of Imperial Management is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 27.738 billion Imperial Managers are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastion. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.7%.

The strong Imperial Management economy, worth a remarkable 1,410 trillion imperial saars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 50,834 imperial saars, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and Imperial Management has designated Bastion as its capital city. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial Management's national animal is the imperial leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Universalist Christianity.

Imperial Management is ranked 183,146^th in the world and 8^th in Auretania for Safest, scoring 54.82 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
