The Empire of Imoan is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 404 million Imoanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 30.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Imoanian economy, worth 29.3 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,569 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The only position a woman can hold is baby-maker, injured workers are encouraged to 'stitch themselves up with their bootstraps', meetings involving club finances are frequently broken up by men in black suits, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imoan's national animal is the kiwi, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Imoan is ranked 122,310^th in the world and 82^nd in Hell for Safest, scoring 72.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
