The Holy Empire of Maximum Imperium Rex is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, frequent executions, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 432 million Maximal Imperian Rexans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Romesilla. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Maximum Imperium Rexian economy, worth 55.0 trillion denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 127,405 denarii, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,151,503 per year while the poor average 1,694, a ratio of 679 to 1.

Meals are now followed by thirty minutes of mandatory exercise, there are six more weeks of winter if a northerner sees his shadow, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', and the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maximum Imperium Rex's national animal is the Polar Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Maximum Imperium Rex is ranked 7,891st in the world and 4th in Kantrias for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 93,515.9 Standard Monetary Units.
