The Galactic Federation of Nouvel Empire is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Jagged Fel with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.137 billion Imperial citizens 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastion. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient imperial economy, worth 509 trillion Imperial credits a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,094 Imperial credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", they say insanity is torturing the same citizens over and over again and expecting a different result, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, and birth announcements often also serve as death announcements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nouvel Empire's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Sith cult.

Nouvel Empire is ranked 255,283^rd in the world and 5,347^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.75 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
