The Theocratic Feudal Autocracy of The 1mperium 0f Man is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Emperor of Man with an iron fist, and notable for its fear of technology, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.592 billion Loyalists are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Imperial Palace of Holy Terra. The average income tax rate is 63.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse 1mperium 0f Manian economy, worth 280 trillion Gelts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 108,267 Gelts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, the inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under, all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, and compassion shrinks as tax rebates grow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 1mperium 0f Man's national animal is the Grox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Cult Imperialis.

The 1mperium 0f Man is ranked 103,601^st in the world and 633^rd in the Plains of Perdition for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
